At 5 a.m. we looked out the window, saw storms, and went back to bed. The storms continued throughout the morning. At 1230 we decided to go the 11 miles to Starved Rock Marina. The weather had cleared, but it was very windy.
Thanks Dad and Adagio made it in to the harbor, but Charis has a deeper draft and was relegated to the gas dock on the outside of Starved Rock Marina.
When we arrived, Chuck and Margaret (Francesca) were on C Dock right behind our boat. Chuck and I almost immediately got our musical instruments out for a jam session on the dock. It was fun to see them again!
Dinner at the marina restaurant was good (fajitas were the special). Tomorrow we are going to try for another early start (6am). Peoria is 60 miles and one lock away. We hope to arrive at the free dock where we will stay for the weekend before all of our looper friends take off. At that time, we will head for the IVY Club.
We started this blog to document our Great Loop adventure. We continued to cruise on Adagio, but in 2018 we purchased a Roadtrek Sprinter Class B RV, named Adagietto. We then purchased an Advanced RV Sprinter named Rocky, which we later traded in for Poppy. It was also from Advanced RV, but was a new design, something they called a B-Box
Welcome back to your Peoria roots.
