Day #11 - Finally on the Mississippi River....

Sorry no blog last night. We anchored on the Illinois River but had no services available. Sure was peaceful though. Went to bed before 8:30.....up again @ 5:50am... as usual. We need to get a good start in the morning as soon as it gets light out. Cruised about 60 miles today. We are now tied up at Alton Marina in Alton, IL.  Going out to eat at Fast Eddy's tonight with our Looper Harbor Master and Blue Angel, our buddy boat. Still on the cool side and a few drops of rain and wind on our nose.
Right now watching ND/MSU game.....Go Irish!
Someday it will warm up and be sunny....Still enjoy the wildlife along the river banks.
Thanks to all of our family and  friends that are following our adventure.
