Wednesday – Thursday, September 5-6. By the time we pulled into Grafton Harbor marina, we were more than ready to stop for the day. This is where the Illinois River runs into the mighty Mississippi; we could see rocky cliffs in the distance where the Mississippi flows by. The town of Grafton was small, but several shops and restaurants were within walking distance. Three of us “Admirals” took the marina’s courtesy car to the grocery store, which was combined with the hardware store. Needless to say, the food selection was pretty slim. Because of rain and thunderstorms, we ended up staying in Grafton two nights. This gave me a chance to do some laundry and “house cleaning,” and Bob had a chance to continue troubleshooting the port engine, which still has a minor but pesky overheating problem.
