This is our second night at the Illinois Valley Yacht and Canoe Club, known to the locals as the IVY Club. Our good friend Ellen Bazley is from Peoria (or at least one of the outlying towns) and I remembered the phrase “Will it play in Peoria”, which means will appeal to the masses. Wikipedia explains the origins here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_it_play_in_Peoria%3F
I guess this means we are firmly in the Midwest and almost halfway down the Illinois River.

Looks really lovely. Full moon last night was incredible….we were at Musicfest outdoor concert in Peterborough Crary Park last night. There are still so many USA loopers going thru our system we are amazed. Lock staff have said without them there would be no traffic. Think gas prices have kept many boaters in their marinas.⚓️

I can see them all on Nebo, still some in the Rideau also. It will be a late year for sure.
