24NM and 2.5 hours.
Easy day today. We were not in a huge hurry to leave Heritage Harbor, but we finally took off around 10am. We had about a 30 minute wait for Starved Rock Lock, which is not bad at all!

We were docked at Spring Valley Boat Club in time for lunch. Our dock is the fuel dock but we have water and power so we are good! We had lunch at the restaurant here and I fixed dinner one the boat.

We did have docktails with some fellow loopers. Great people, good times. Robert got to experience his first docktails. :-)
LOCKS DONE! 🥂 we made it thru before they closed them! SUCCESS!!
