Layover at Grand Harbor Marina

We had a lot of rain last night, but today the clouds have cleared and it is beautiful outside!  We spent the day doing a few boat chores and just enjoying the day.  We are so used to clean Lake Michigan water and it is amazing how dirty LeeLoo gets in the river.

We went to Freddy T's Restaurant for dinner last night with a group of about 12 Loopers and are going again this evening.  Last night we celebrated George and Martha's completion (on Aunt Aggie) of the Loop.  They crossed their wake the day before just outside Grand Harbor Marina.  We have enjoyed meeting George and Martha and wish them well on their next adventure, whether it may be!

Tomorrow we travel to Florence, Alabama, about 45 miles upriver.  The town is just a few miles shy of Wilson Lock which is one of the higher lifts we will experience (approximately 80 feet).  On Monday, we plan to anchor at 6 mile creek and on Tuesday we will go through the Joe Wheeler Lock and arrive at Joe Wheeler State Park for the Rendezvous.  We may or may not have internet in the next few days, but will catch up with our blog when we do.  Stay tuned . . .
