Illinois boaters are anxious to hit the water on the Chain O'Lakes and get boating season underway, despite the high cost of gas.
WAUCONDA, Ill. -- John and Marianna Desmond are looking forward to a big weekend on the lake with their grandkids on their pontoon boat. But first they have to fill up the gas tank - and that takes a big bite out of their bank account these days.
With overcast skies Friday, it's the calm before what is expected to be a very busy holiday weekend. The forecast is expected to cooperate. And it's a very busy time for the folks at Wauconda Boats, getting watercraft out of winter storage and into the water. At the harbor office the phone is ringing off the hook, with many customers looking to rent boats for the weekend. Despite the cost, however, boaters are anxious to hit the water and get the boating season underway.
