We left Ottawa with the other three boats that joined us last night, and had a long day of travelling and getting into Peoria around 5:30 PM. There is a town dock with lots of places to tie up but no cleats. It's pretty weird that they built such nice docks and then never installed cleats. We ended up tying to a jib crane and two power pedestals that didn't work, but held us in place for the night. The replica sailing vessels Nina and Pinta were tied up at the town dock too and they were charging people to take tours. We mailed off the oil samples from the oil change I did the other night in Joliet and called it a day
