We changed our forwarding address

We went to the city dock at Ottawa one more time, took some pictures in town, had a coffee and charged the inverter batteries one more time.

Then, we moved down to the starved rock marina dock to pump out, get fresh water and have lunch at the restaurant and hope our parts showed up at the ship store.

The parts actually showed up just in time, we finished lunch, pumped out and made it down to the lock to lock thru with FIVE other rec boats, one of them that tried to knock our side window out as we sat tied to the dock!  Some boaters just don't have the eyesight, or foresight, or smarts or something that allows them to not fit into the dumbass category.

We got thru the lock and moved downstream a few miles and found a sandbar to spend the night on.

This morning we made our way to Peoria and plan to continue on south in the morning.
