When we realized we had sustained some damage, Ron called the lock master, who had the vessel in his chamber and we got all the information necessary to pursue damages. These are two of the three competant and courteous officiers who responded to make out the report necessary.
We've had a lot of exposure to the Joliet Police Department while in Joliet. First we met the Captain last night when we docked in an area NOT designated :-) for pleasure craft (the travel guide gave a designation that had later been changed by the city). The Captain was very congenial and helped us find the area now designated for pleasure craft. Today were the three officers helping us with the report and not an hour after they left, a small child ran up to our boat screaming for us to call somebody because there was a man who fell by the stern of our boat and was bleeding all over the side walk. Sure enough, we went back and there was a very large man, out cold and bleeding profusely. Again we called 911 and met more of the Joliet police and a few of the EMS service ta boot! Ahhh, ya know, if I'd have been up a half hour or so sooner this morning, we'd have been at our next destination right now!! I'm getting up early tomorrow morning folks!
