Rain and flooding are keeping us in Chicago a while longer. We finally broke out of the boat last evening when it stopped raining--8.8 inches of rain here. The Chicago River Lock has been closed since Sat. We have spoken to boaters down river and the lockmasters are saying that it won't be until Wed that the Ill River will crest and it will take a few days for the river to recede.
Then the locks might open again but the commerical traffic has priority over pleasure craft moving through the locks--it will take a few days for that to get back to normal. It looks like about a week to ten days form now before it is feasible to move.
