Short day run from Hoppies to the Kaskaskia Lock and Dam...last time around that was where we first encountered those pesky Asian carp...this time we thought they weren't as plentiful. Though we continue to hear all sorts of horror stories about other boaters having them jump aboard, we've been very lucky so far. We spent a quiet evening tied to the wall with another Looper boat, AUK. We were very surprised the next morning to find we'd been joined by 54' Jefferson named RAINBOW CHASER headed to Charlevoix. I almost jumped ship...He had traveled all day from Green Turtle Bay and pulled in after midnight. WOW...sure glad my Captain doesn't push that hard!
