Marseilles Lock & Dam is just after this turn. The young lad at the bow is Max, Brad's son. Brad works for the owner as his airplane pilot and accompanied me on the delivery. The Marseilles lock has an 18' lift. | Next lock is the Starved Rock Lock and Dam, Ottawa, Il that has an 18' lift. In at 1:50 PM and out at 2:20 PM. |
Today's route ended at Henry Harbor Landing, Henry, Il at 6 PM. Our boat was too large to park within their marina so we had to park on the old lock, originally built in the 20's. Sorry, no picture.
