The table in the saloon was rectangular causing problems when sliding around the settee and making movement in the cabin limited when it was open all the way. The last few months we haven’t used the table…it was just more trouble than it was worth….
Mighty Mississippi River
This is a picture of the Mississippi River from the bridge of our boat. As you can see it is very muddy (kind of a chocolate brown), very turbulent, and moves very quick.This is some of the debris from the river being flooded. We spend our …

Not A Great Start To The Weekend
