Day 42, September 13th, 2009
Hot, hot day. Just a short trip down the pretty Illinois River. Quiet river with dense trees on both sides. Went through a couple of locks. Little different from the Trent and the Erie. Much bigger! Very helpful lock masters though and all went well. Arrived at a pretty little anchorage by "Sugar Island". Surrounded by speedboats and jet skis whizzing by!!! Everybody enjoying their last taste of summer fun. I went swimming and that water was WARM!!!! No "Oh, its lovely once you're in!" here. Just like a bathtub!!! All working well on the boat now. We really appreciate that after having a few problems earlier on!!! John is doing a great job baking whole wheat bread every 2nd day or so!!! (Thanks Lynne for that great recipe!) He's doing so well with it that I'm leaving that job in his capable hands!!!
