There's Something In The Water

Those who live along the Mississippi seem to form a special bond with it. They recognize its' moods and character. They live on its' banks. They walk along the pathways and trails that surround it. They boat on it for fun and for business. They fish... from its' banks - and from expensive fishing boats that fly from one fishing spot to the next. They reflect on its' beauty and recognize the power and force of the mighty giant.

Yep, that must be it. Must be something in the water.

Late March

High water is here. Many cities along the Upper Mississippi are filling sandbags and preparing for flooding. This could delay the beginning of the boating season into late may. There are varying predictions on how bad the flooding will be. Stay tuned...

We're landlubbers at the moment. We sold our old boat in the Spring of 2010 and spent all of last year on dry land. We are now looking for our next boat. We're hoping to pick up a used cruiser. There are lots of them for sale - it's just a matter of finding the right one. For now we're "window shopping" & waiting for the shrink wrap to come off so we can do some serious looking.
