The boat is back in working order. We filled up the fuel tank and we are ready to cruise tomorrow morning. One unusual thing about this harbor is that they do not take credit cards. They did take our out of state check, however. There are lots of tow boats here in the harbor and on shore. Also, there is a floating casino, no longer in operation. We thought maybe it was the old Argosy from Lawrenceburg, Indiana. It says "Rock Island" on the side of it though.
We hope to have an uneventful day on the water. I am putting some pictures of this marina on the blog tonight. Hope you enjoy them.
The defunct casino we thought might have been the Argosy.

The restaurant that has not been open in 5 years.
This is the first place we have been where we saw Asian Carp, otherwise known as Flying Fish. They are pretty big and jump pretty high. The stories on the dock here are that they land on the dock or in a boat and die. They smell stinky and make a big muddy, bloody mess. I am certainly hoping to not have any stowaways on our boat as we travel south down the Illinois Waterway and the Mississippi River.
