MV Soulstice - Ottawa to Grafton

The Soulstice crew travels the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers in this video. We dock in the area's rustic marinas and anchor out at several beautiful spots. We enjoy exploring this area and continue to challenge our navigation skills with the frequent barge traffic we encounter. We do take some time to have lunch at the famous Mel's Illinois Riverfront Restaurant. We finally do make it to Grafton, the Key West of the Midwest, and enjoy spending time with fellow Looper friends. We even visit Aerie Winery and ride on the chair lift and bob sled rides. A good time was had by all. I hope you enjoy the video.
