The floods are over and we're on our way again!

This picture is ten days ago when our marina on the Illinois River was flooded. Where I am is standing on our usually dry dock where out anchor usually hangs a little above waist high. We left Harborside Marina (our previous home port) today and headed down the Illinois River. We're anchored out at Buffalo Rock this evening after an easy cruising day in a light drizzle. I'm fishing off the aft deck into the river current behind the boat and having appetizers with Kathy. Aft deck fishing is the most luxurious type of fishing, even if you don't catch many fish.

The boat performed flawlessly today as did the new inverter. No wireless internet here on the rivers, so I'm on the slow cell phone connection.

We're going to Peoria, IL tomorrow, where the river is still up a few feet from the recent floods. That's good, because at normal pool levels all the marinas in Peoria are shallow.
