The weather today was perfect for cruising. We pulled away from the dock at 7:00 A.M. The seas were only one foot high. Yea! It was one of those days that make me feel so spoiled. We cruised past Milwaukee and Racine, Wisconsin and ended up in Winthrop, Illinois at North Port Marina. This marina is huge, having 1500 slips. The walk from where we are docked to the office to pay for the night is at least 1/2 mile. One man told us that the marina is only 43% full. When we arrived, there were three very nice men on hand to help grab our lines and tie us up. Then, this slip has 120 50 amp service. We did not have the proper adapter, so one of those nice gentlemen loaned us one for tonight. We are expecting to leave in the morning, heading for Hampton, near Chicago. The weather doesn't sound quite as good for tomorrow as it did earlier today, so we will have to wait and see what the forecast is in the morning. I am putting a couple of pictures of the Milwaukee skyline on the blog today.
