We will try again

It is Monday the first of June, the Twin Cities just had the driest May since 1934 our lake is low and receding fast, while the Ilinnios River is still in flood.

We have had a productive two weeks at home. Although the IL is still in flood, it is lower then it was when we came home and continues to go down daily. We are ready to try again. We will leave Minnesota tomorrow and drive to St Charles.. Then we will spent Wed and Thurs provisioning the boat and checking that everything is working properly including the new bow and stern thrusters.

If there are no problems (and central Illinois has not had another monsoon) we will head for Chicago first thing Friday morning.

We will try and update the blog as often as we have WiFi access.
