Today was a catch up and rest up day.  Lea went back to Florida bright and early in the morning, and I started 5 loads of laundry.

Jim worked around on the boat, by noon all the chores were done and the relaxing began.  The next few days are going to be anything 

but not relaxing.  We leave the Illinois river and within a mile

of the marina we enter the Mississippi River.  The next 250 miles

are basically without services.  Tomorrow we have a marina that

is made from old barges.  From then on until we get to anchor out

for the next 3 days.  A few of my favorite photos.
