Hey guys, once I determine the seaworthiness of my Bayliner I was thinking of taking a few days and taking it from Chicago to St. Louis via the Illinois River. I looked it up and would be around 348 miles. This would be my first trip of this kind...what all should I know?
I do know that I need to get a VHF radio to communicate with lock operators but so far that's about the only bit of knowledge I've gathered. It seems there's plenty of marinas and places to stop for gas and such.
