    Re: Stuart, FL To Racine, WI On A 60MY

    Made it to Sunset Bay Marina & Submarine Base where we wrangled the fuel dock suite. May have made Hammond if not for a total a$$hole towboat “captain” who we assume just wanted to hold up a yatchet. Unless we get hung up in something totally goofy at O’Brien Lock in the morning, we’ll still end up in Racine tomorrow.

    You know you’ve made it when you hail a drawbridge in Chicago, and the bridge tender replies, “Is this Captain Randy?”

    It would seem they’ve been tracking our trip. Same with some REAL tow Captains, one of which let us ahead of him an Brandon Road Lock this morning. That gesture saved us at least 2-3 hours. It’s good to be The Bird, at least sometimes.

    I can handle it! LOL

    Had a little railroad bridge adventure as the bridge tender was nowhere to be found. Multiple calls to multiple agencies got us through in about TWO FRIGGIN HOURS!

    Went out onto the lake, and it was pretty sporty. Having the arch lying on the fantail was a concern (even though it’s VERY secure), so we headed into Hammond. Another hour or so should be sufficient as it’s laid down a bunch since we came in. 70 miles and the journey is done.

    You got out of there at the right time. Sunset Bay Marina is about 136th & Torrence.
    River Oaks Mall is at 159th & Torrence, where rioting & looting going on as I type.

    You're out of the rivers. You can switch to knots.

    Made it into Racine around 7 and just got back from a nice dinner with Dave and a couple of his friends. Trina wasn’t able to make the last leg of this trip, but I couldn’t have asked for better travel companions for what became a 30 day run. The boat ran flawlessly.

    Now it’s on to Cheboygan to pick up Robby & Brenda’s 53MY for a return trip south. It’ll be nice going DOWN the rivers for a change. Will pick up a rental car and head their way in the morning. Stay tuned for another thread on that trip, coming soon to a forum near you.

    Should I switch to fathoms too?
