    We are doing the Great Loop aboard our 39' Mainship. Because of the Labor Day weekend our reservation at DuSable in Chicago did not begin until Tuesday. We looked on Waterway Guide and noticed Marina Shores. We wanted to add Indianna to our list of States while on the trip and decided to call and see if there was availability. We were surprised that yes they had room for us and that the price was very affordable. Understanding that Marina Shores was not centrally located to Shops and town we decided that it would make a good place to rest and to do a few chores on the boat.
    I was surprised how nice the accommodations were. Great Docks, nice pool, free laundry, restaurant with good food and a band playing both Saturday and Sunday night. Fuel, both gas and diesel ship store with ice cream and pump included with the slip fee.. Yacht Club within dingy distance with great food on Friday just up the creek.
    But best of all, the friendly people on the dock. I mean we were treated like part of the family. I can't stress enough how inviting the community at Marina Shores at Dune Harbor was.

    The slips are very nice. We were there very late in the sea so it was extremely quite. For transients there is absolutely nothing to do there except the yacht club, if it's open.
