Our guest on this week's episode of the Great Loop Radio podcast is Jeremy Fowler, Marina Manager at Heritage Harbor on the Illinois River. Jeremy will share details of cruising the Illinois Waterway from Chicago to its junction with the Mississippi River. We'll also talk about the Army COE's plan to close the Illinois Waterway for lock maintenance in 2020.
Local Notice to Mariners are something that should be in every Looper's toolbox. Checking these reports can give insight into the local issues you may encounter on each movement of your boat on the Great Loop. Robert Rice joins us once again this week to discuss where to find Local Notice to Mariners and how you can use them to be more prepared for the Great Loop.
