Day 256 – September 17, 2022 – Peoria, IL to Beardstown, IL – Logsdon Tug Services

  • 79.8 miles
  • 8 hours 16 minutes
  • 9.6 mph average speed
  • 6-14 mph. winds

We must have seen at least 20 Bald Eagles today!

We had planned to anchor at Quiver Island but decided to keep going to our next destination due to opposing wind and current.

Logsdon Tug Services is not a marina but simply a place to tie up for the night. There are a couple of barges where boats can tie up to and there is no power or water. Star Dust tied up to a barge so that they would be able to get their dog, Roy, off and we rafted to them because there were several other Loopers that were planning to tie up there as well. At the end of the day there were a total of 11 boats tied up to the barges and some were rafted three together!

We had dinner on Perfect Match that night with Misty and Darrel. Misty made Cole Slaw and Corn on the Cob and Ellen made BBQ Ribs. There was a beautiful sunset after dinner!
