Jenny & Danny's Great Loop Adventure on "The Other Woman"

Be Ready for Anything   Jenny, You Need to Be Flexible and She's Trying Further travel plans for the Great Loop... Some have contacted us because I have not posted in some time.  We are doing just fine although I have been tested on being flexible!  I am going do a post once we get to Chicago.  We already had to make an adjustment from going down the Wisconsin side to the Michigan side of Lake Michigan, more on that later.  As we are getting closer to crossing our wake, we now have some additional issues.  Many of you know, our arrival to Chicago is centered around going through the locks just south of Chicago.  Three locks just south of Chicago have been closed since June 1st for maintenance and scheduled to reopen on October 1st according to the Army Corp of Engineers.   The middle locks may not be completed by October 1st, although they are working 24/7 for it to happen.  The Great Loop Association has divided us into "Flotillas" of 16 boats to go south.  We are in Flo
