Sherwood Marina - start

We put in at the Sherwood Marina opposite Grafton IL.
"It's an hona system" the guy in a yellow cigarette boat slurred when I asked where we checked in. The 3 guys on it were totally hammered. I slipped $10 into the battered box perched on a crooked pole while the others docked the boat in a mooring with a roof. Walking to the dock I chuckled recalling yesterday evening. "That piece of mainland there is called Apple Island" Bobby had said pointing to a crouching landmass. "Did he just say that piece of mainland is an 'island'?" James had asked turning to me. "We're in good hands" I said. We had a good laugh!
