Just pulled up the tracking.. saw they were at locks. I want to know what trick they have to cross that peninsula on a jetboat (Yes I know it updates every 10min at position not whole route).

If you received a msg @robert843 It was me.

There are two boats 8 total people and I turned on the tracker before we got to the boat. The downtown part of Chicago was worth the trip alone
