There is a bar, not unlike this one, the is open to the elements and you can look out to the sea. But in this case it looks out to the Mississippi river. It's in Grafton, IL and called 3rd Chute. There are indeed sail boats as on the coast but not cruise ships.  There are however tug boats, barges and yachts. I always go there once in the spring and once in the fall to bring in the new season.  Funny how you can watch the water, the people and the boats all day. Cheers my friend. Jazz

“Only those who have the patience 

to do simple things perfectly will acquire 

the skill to do difficult things with ease.”

~ Friedrich von Schiller ~

She must follow her own path. 

And we must accept that, on her journey, 

we may not be the heroes destined to save her, 

but simply the guides meant to accompany her. 

To love her on her journey. 

That is the true price of friendship.
