Our adventure began October 14, 2012 covering 5907 miles on The Great American
Loop.<br />
This adventure can not be explained unless you are a "Looper". Only
you know what we have accomplished on this voyage. We have met friends for
life, visited ports we did not know existed and tested our abilities 24/7. It
is a honor to fly the Gold Burgee.<br />
Thank you EVERYONE for your support. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

What an achievement! Pat & I (and Ashley) sure enjoyed <br />
traveling with you guys off and on for the last two years - <br />
meeting at Joe Wheeler in Oct. '12, crossing "The Whale" together <br />
in the Abacos, the wet and wonderful dinghy ride to Pineapples in <br />
New Plymouth, the ride down the coast of Michigan, fun with <br />
hydraulic shifter and masthead light repairs, the trip down the <br />
flood swollen Illinois and, most certainly, evening docktails on <br />
the Nanseann flybridge! You guys are special folks to us and we <br />
hope and expect to see you often as we both continue our travels <br />
on land or by water. <br />

The navigable portion is 381 miles and ends at Celina. However, today we will travel along the river for only about 33 miles. The Cumberland snakes its way through a pretty region, a peaceful, gentle river, ultimately taking us to Lake Barkley and Green Turtle Bay Marina. This is our final travel day on the Great American Loop.<br />

We are on the Mississippi River.....218 miles of the Mighty Mississippi and as they say....."liquid brown mud".....<br />
We depart from Hoppies Marina at 6:25 AM with 52 degrees on the bridge....Mile 158.5.....<br />
We are the first boat to depart since we are at the end of the wall and if we do not hit a log crossing the river the other 6 boats will join us. <br />

The current, in normal conditions, runs between 3 and 4 mph.....but for us it is running @ 5 mph. The weather can make or break this journey and it is looking good for us.<br />
<br />
Early morning departure....7AM with four boats leaving Grafton Harbor Marina<br />

In fact, Grafton Harbor Marina has the unique river address of "Illinois Waterway mile zero."<br />
We have traveled 1595 miles this season making it a total of 5595 on the Great American Loop.<br />
Due to the fact that the rivers are at flood stage we will spend time in Grafton waiting for the mighty Mississippi to settle down and the trash from the Missouri River to lighten up......<br />
Our plans are to leave Sunday and make our way to Hoppies.....<br />
<br />

Wonderful fish fry and we thank Randy who cooked and provided the fish.....plus Bob, owner of Tall Timbers Marina.....nice place to visit...<br />
The rest of the Loopers are waiting until Monday or Tuesday to leave as Grafton Harbor Marina is full and there is no space at the inn.....<br />

Brown water.....tugboats/barges......Asian Carp</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Bighead Carp were brought from China in the 1970s to clean fish farm holding pens. They escaped during the floods of the 1980s, and are now the most common fish in the Upper Mississippi and Illinois Rivers. They can jump up to 15 feet high....and they are quite a sight.....just stay out of our boat.....</div>

The Illinois Waterway replaced the Illinois & Michigan Canal. In 1848 the I&M canal was an immediate commercial success, a highway of commerce that cut the time between Lake Michigan and the Illinois River to only 22 hours by tow-path mule. Charging six cents a mile for passengers and a penny a mile per thousand feet of lumber, the canal grossed a staggering $80,000 in its first year of operation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Chicago, a rough-and-tough fur center at that time instantly became a major port and trade center, growing six-fold in only ten years.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With only 20,000 residents in 1848 when the canal opened, its population grew to a half-million by 1893.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Chicago is now the third most populous city in the country with nearly three million residents.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Of course railroads reduced the 22-hour trip to only three hours later on......</div>

Its current name dates back to about 1760. At that time, Chief Pontiac of the Ottawa tribe was slain by an Illiniwek Indian while attending a tribal council, unleashing a series of battles to avenge his death. During one of the battles a band of Illiniwek sought refuge on the bluff, but were surrounded and starved to death.</div>

For commercial workboats, Hennepin is their grocery store stop. The Hennepin Boat Store, owned by the Judd family for two generations, is a floating grocery and general provisions store.

Interesting Fact - It's a tricky process when splitting barges....The towboat pushes the forward set of barges into the lock. The barges within the chamber are unlashed from the tow and the towboat backs away. This first set of barges, now without auxiliary power, is called the "break." Two deckhands remain onboard the break, locking though within the chamber.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After the locking, the break barges must be removed from the chamber. They commonly use a mechanical "mule," which is anchored to the lock wall and winches the barges out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once clear of the chamber, 600 feet of engineless barge wait along the riverbank, free-floating except for the ropes and cables manned by the deckhands. When the towboat and remaining barges lock through, the original configuration is re-lashed and the tow proceeds down the river......</div>

Historical Note - The first canal to connect Lake Michigan with the inland water system entered the Illinois River here in Morris, IL. It was dug by hand starting in 1836. Today this is the abandoned canal parallel to the Illinois River. This 96-canal was in use from 1848 to 1860, when trains replaced it. It originally ran from Morris to Chicago via Lockport.</div>

There is no identified safe method to recover a victim from the water while in the electrified zone. If a person falls out of your vessel, the US Coast Guard will not attempt a rescue until the person is 450ft down river of the East Romeo Road Bridge, due to electric hazard for the rescuers.....How about that....Lay down Saddi.....</div>

Lockport Lock is the biggest drop we have on the Illinois Waterway. It takes nearly a half-hour to fill the chamber and 15 to 18 minutes to "dump the water". 50 million gallons of water flush through with each locking. Today it took 45 minutes to drop the water and this is the reason the Lock will be closed for 2 days next week. Yesterday, several Looper boats waited over 6 hours to lock through.....</div>

Historical Note - Southbound, this is the end of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal. This 20 mile long canal was constructed in 1900. The Lockport Lock was a key feature of this canal. This was the first step in producing a navigable waterway from Chicago to the Mississippi. It would be 39 more years before the rest of the Illinois River was tamed with locks to provide a reliable waterway with 9 feet depth from Lockport to the Mississippi River.</div>

We have this morning to finish Lake Michigan before nasty thunderstorms arrive in Chicago @ 2PM from the Midwest. And the weather forecast for the next week is NW winds at 10-12 mph. Plus being Friday dock space is very hard to find in Chicago and at $2.55/foot you do not want to stay too long....<br />
There are three other factors in this decision.....you can only travel through the Asian Fish Barriers on Saturday or Sunday....they are closed weekdays from 7AM to 4PM....AND Lockport Lock and Dam will be closed two days next week.....AND a barge has sunk at East 106th Street Bascule Bridge and they are getting ready to close this area........<br />

Built in 1904, the lighthouse has become the most popular symbol of Michigan City and is the only public operating lighthouse in Indiana. The elevated walkway, known as the "catwalk", was used by lighthouse keepers for 29 years to access the light tower. In 1933, this light was electrified, and in 1939, the US Coast Guard took over the service.</div>

When we came into Calumet Harbor a bolt on the davit snapped dropping one end of the dinghy in the water. It was secure but we needed to find a place where the Captain could fix the problem......Nice people at Crowley's.....helped us with a new bolt and said "no charge"......Crowley's is where the sailboat people have their mast removed so they can travel on the rivers to Mobile.....</div>

The Thomas S O'Brien lock was constructed in 1960 to prevent the Calumet River from draining into Lake Michigan as well as to prevent rising water on Lake Michigan from raising the level of the river. The name "Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal" means just what the name implies. The Calumet Sag Channel connects with this canal and this canal connects with the inland rivers permitting ship traffic to go south via this system, and to take all sanitary waste south. Put another way, Chicago's waste does not pollute Lake Michigan, it flows south contributing to pollution on the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers ending up in the Gulf of Mexico.</div>
