Leaving Joilet



We left Joliet when the fog was lifting. Unfortunately, it had not lifted everywhere. We left with Full Circle in the lead, Freedom right behind, we were next, then the next boat Amy K and trailing behind was a sail boat Dulcinea. The first two boats were Sea Rays and made it to our destination three hours ahead of us. We got held up at the last lock for three hours. No place to tie up, we could only drop an anchor in a very small area. While we waited, and waited, and waited we got pushed around by the prop wash of the tug locking his tow through. It took us almost 12 hours to get to our destination 40 miles away.
