In order to travel through downtown on the Chicago River, Crazy Eights
could be no higher than 17 feet from the water. Rich lowered the light on the radar arch and the radio antennas and we were 16 feet, 4 inches. The bridges through
Joliet were the lowest at 16 feet, 5 and 6 inches - we made it, but not with much to spare. I asked my Captain if he was SURE of his measurements!
Rich's nephew and kids from Joliet surprised us with a visit to the boat when we were in Joliet. How nice it was to see them for a bit. His kids are 16, 14 and 11. Where does the time go?
