Looper Boats on the Illinois River Today
September 4. Here are photos of some Looper boats we happened to see today going down the Illinois River. Except for tow boats loaded with barges heading north, Loopers were just about the only boats on the river today. It seems that after Labor Day most pleasure boats have buttoned up for the season. Loopers, on the other hand, are heading south! Included are Happy Destiny, a sailboat (didn't catch the name), Christine, September Morn, Karma, Winnie W, and Jeanne Marie. The final photo shows the Loopers tied to the Beardstown Barge tonight, all of whom were on these boats earlier.
