| Sunrise in Burlington |

Muscatine, IA to Rockport, IL
Sunday, August 23, 2011
Time to catch everyone up on our travels. We have put in some long days getting down river! We have stopped in
Muscatine, IA, Burlington, IA and Quincy, IL. Tonight we are going to
Rockport, IL, stopping early so we can get groceries and the Captain can
wash 20BUCKS!

| Entrance to Burlington marina |
We continue to have beautiful scenery like the entrance to our marina in Burlington, IA.
Bad thing about this entrance was the depth was < 4 feet. Our fellow
Looper boat “MarcsArk” went aground in the entrance and had to be
pulled off. They do however have parties much like our beloved “F”
dock complete with palm trees.

| Duck blinds |
Last night we were in Quincy, IL. We pulled into the
marina and we were sent to a slip next to MarcsArk. The marina man told
us it was a 15 ft. X 30 ft slip......NOT. Ken lined up with the slip
and eased the stern into the slip and that was that ....!!!! The slip
was only 12’4” which the marina man figured out after we moved to a tie
along and he measured it. Oh well, nothing hurt!
One last thing from me is for the duck
hunters out there, the picture to the right shows the fancy duck blinds
they have here along the river.
My turn to drive! Pat
