Monday, Sept. 3, 2012. Ward and I were up early and pulled out of the Kenosha marina early in case we couldn't make good time due to waves, wind, rain, etc. The waves were 3-4' when we left but true to prediciton moderated as the day progressed. We were in Chicago by noon but it took a while to navigate the harbor and find the DuSable Marina at the foot of Randolph Street just outside the loop and 1/4 mile south of the Chicago River Lock.
Crewman Ward departed in time to catch the 2:30 train to Kenosha to pick up his car and return to his digs in Chicago.
New crewmen, Ty Nichols and Dave Johnson arrived Monday, Labor Day, respectively by train and by vehicle driven by his sweet wife Brenda. Ty boarded the train in LaPlata MO (north of his home, Columbia) and was in Chicago in 5-6 hours. Dave drove from Indianapolis, IN.
