Below are a few pictures of the Big Blue Anchorage.  When we turned on our anchor lights for the evening, we didn't realize we would attract a thousand mayflies, but you have to have your light on.

We took off from the anchorage quite easily.  

Cows cooling along the rivers edge, on this hot day.

Homes along the Illinois river.

In Grafton Illinois, we enjoyed a wonderful evening at the Marina Oyster Bar.  It was the best dinner on the trip so far.  Jambalaya, Snow Crab, Mussels, fish tacos etc.  Wonderful large menu.
