Heading to Hoppies

We are suddenly in the thick of things. Left Alton this morning with 7 other loopers for Hoppies. We had looper cocktails last night and 50 people attended! All at one marina. A key lock wall destination just closed for 12 days so we are all trying to figure out where to anchor after Hoppies. The water level is very low. But the weather is great.

Alton Marina is a full service marina and protected so was a great 2 day stay. Our friends Mike and Chris Brown are here now on their SeaRay 52 and we went out for a fancy steak dinner last night to kick things off.
