DesPlaines
River. 47 miles. 3 locks.
Trees. Water

| The lock personal take pride in providing assistance |
Each lock holds 1.7 million gallons of water, so every time
a boat is locked through, that is the approximate amount of water that goes
from upstream to downstream
Tonight we are at a very nice marina called Heritage Harbor,
just east of Ottawa. What a great place,
the personnel are the most helpful we have encountered thus far and the
facility is clean, pretty and all around first-class. PLUS they cater to Loopers so it was only $1
per foot – for Reunion that’s $40 for the night. We highly recommend this stop.

We also encountered Becky and Mark from the Mara Beel, whom
we first met in Door County – they are so hospitable and easy to visit with, we
enjoyed the evening very much.
