| 48 SM; 7 hours and one lock |
Brief update as we have lost internet and our anchor location has marginal cell coverage. Will update this posting once better connection. Fuel issues at the marina were fixed; we topped off our tanks and were under way at 1115. Hot, hazy and humid. Heat index warning for next three days. No recreational boat traffic but lots of tows pushing large barge complexes today. Peoria Lock no waiting and quick six foot lock down.
We pressed onward to a safe anchorage on the land side of Quiver Island near the town of Havana, IL. Safe anchorage. Set the anchor at 1800, splashed the dinghy and had swim call. (Map) Severe Thunderstorms pass through the area with the damaging winds just to our north, but we had 30 MPH gusts, spectacular lightening and brief heavy rain. Good news it cooled off considerable. After 2200 all was quiet. Kim’s anchor video
