Hammer01, I don't think Skipperbuds owns the marina anymore. The BBQ place was Famous Dave's. Unfortunatly Famous Daves closed several years ago. I dry stack my boat at East Port, so if you ever plan on coming down, PM me. Dave

I haven't been there for a few summers, mainly boated Lake Michigan and the Ozarks but my uncle has a slip in Sodowsky's (sp) and has been there for about 10 years. Not such a nice harbor but he has great neighbors and can't leave. I did not realize that Eastport had new ownership, hope they are treating you guys well and would PM you if ever in the area.

I've been boating the river since the 70's. It is a tad cleaner now than it was back in the day! I try to hit the river at least a few times a year. I usually run lock to lock when I do. I'll do the North run by launching at Detwiller and running between Peoria and Starved Rock. For a South run I launch at Havana and run between Peoria and LaGrange. Both runs are right around 150 miles round trip on the water. I don't get to the river as often as I used to as I bought a lift back in 2006 and have been slipping my boat at Clinton Lake ever since.

I have heard Clinton Lake is really nice, we might make a trip over there in early May.

PM me if you head over. There is a group of us on Dock 3 that tie up every weekend in Houseboat Cove. Drama-free group. We'll have everything from Bajas, PQs, Formulas, Sunsations, and Checkmates, to Chaparrals, Rinkers, Crownlines, MasterCrafts, etc. tied up. We always enjoy meeting new folks. Early last year we had a large group of boats from Rockford tied up with us. They had an 8 person inflatable raft they brought along for their ladies that they called "Estrogen Island". Cracked me up...
