After our run down the Illinois River, today was a decompression day at Grafton marina. Tomorrow we start our run down the Mississippi – some 218 miles. Brenda went off to Walmart with the ladies from Windsong, Serendipity, Quixote to get some more provisions. I just worked on the boat, and generally relaxed. Brenda and I went to lunch at the Marina restaurant. After lunch I stayed in order to post my latest blogs since that was the best spot to access WiFi. It was extremely weak on the boat. Brenda went for a walk through the town of Grafton.
At 5 we went down for a swim at the marina pool. The group then went to dinner at Mississippi Two S Step – the local fancy restaurant. As we were walking down the street, one of the houses showed the high water mark for the Illinois river. It occurred in 1993 and it was approximately 30 feet high on the house. These rivers rise and fall all the time depending on rain, snow etc.
