Hi Bill,
Awesome night on the beach last night. Longest day of 2017 in
the books already! Who says the river is dirty? It turned out to
be a clarifying night. One to remember forever. Very possibly my
last on the Upper Mississippi River!

Hoppies
Marina
Click pic to enlarge
YesterYears
Picture on This Day in 2016....
was
sent to us by Claudia Burris who hails out of Hoppies
Marina in Kimmswick, Mo
Hi Bill!
Look who I met at Hoppies! Rob Boteler and Graham Wilson came
down because they had heard so much about Hoppies on
riverbills.com. "We had to come down and see Hoppies because we
see photos from Claudia on Riverbills every other day!" That's
the comment I heard as they pulled up to the marina!
Wilson introduced Boteler (pronounced
BOAT-LER) to boating many years ago when they were next door
neighbors in St. Charles. "He's gone over to the dark side now,
from sail boating to motor boating," says Wilson, who currently
lives in Lexington, Kentucky. Wilson came up for a cruise with
Boteler, who keeps "Yesterday's Dream" at the Yacht Club, run by
harbor master Andy Alexander.
Their four-day trip included stops at the Alton Marina, The Blue
Owl in Kimmswick, the Grafton Oyster Bar, and Hardin, Illinois.
Boteler says his boat is a Bayliner 2859. "It's 28 feet long and
I have no idea what the 59 stands for," jokes Boteler. The two
boaters were pretty excited about being featured on your web
site!
See you on the river!

Mississippi River at Dardenne Slough
Duck Club Yacht Club
The clubhouse is closed until further notice The
board is currently looking for a replacement proprietor to run the
restaurant. If any member has a lead please feel free to let Doug Woods or
Tony Longo know. We know there will be many questions now and in the near
future, the board will do our best to keep the members informed of where we
are at.
The new proprietor will certainly go through the same learning curve that
Brian and his staff were going thought. I ask that you show patients as we
start that process over again.
For the time being you will be able to bring your own beverages and food to
the pool, as there will be no food or beverage service. NO GLASS !!! will be
allowed at the pool. While you can bring your own we have to be careful to
still follow the rules. We will need to decide on what happens to the club
room, For the time being please clean up after yourself. There will be no
one to come behind us to clean pool ar anywhere else for that matter.
The board has worked hard to make DCYC a premier marina on the river, and
while there is no denying this is a setback we are not going to give up. We
will work as diligently as possible to get a replacement and get our club
back on track as soon as possible.

Mississippi River
At St. Louis, Missouri
Fire Department
Rescues Barge Worker From The River........
Around 7:30 pm Tuesday,
the St. Louis Fire Department dispatched their marine unit to the
Mississippi River along the St. Louis riverfront for a report of two boaters
in the water.
A tweet by the fire
department claimed that a boat had capsized near the Martin Luther King
Bridge and Lenor K. Sullivan Boulevard.
Later reports from the
fire department revealed that a barge worker had fallen into the Mississippi
River, and was picked up by barge crew members. Reports of a second person
in the water proved to be unfounded........

 River
History....
June 22, 1884 in River History
The Riverboat Montana sank in Missouri River across from St. Charles where
she can still be seen today in periods of low water.
The Montana was built in 1879 and was the largest paddle wheeler on the
Missouri River...280 feet long. The boat had three decks and stood more than
50 feet tall.
The Montana struck the railroad bridge at St. Charles while trying to pass
under it and took on water before running aground on the St. Louis County
side of the river. No one was hurt, but the Montana split in half.

News Release From BoatUS
BoatUS
Alert: Crime Rings Stealing Boats, Yamaha Outboards, Garmin
Electronics
7 tips to slow down
thieves
 AALEXANDRIA,
Va., June 21, 2017 – Boat Owners Association of The United
States (BoatUS) said today crime rings responsible for stealing
boats, Yamaha outboard engines, Garmin electronics, and other
expensive navigation units along the East Coast’s I-95 corridor
have moved across the country. Largely striking boat dealerships
and boat-storage facilities, the thieves are getting the
attention of a new intelligence working group made up of local,
state and federal law enforcement officials as well as certified
marine investigators who urge recreational boaters to be
vigilant.
One Virginia marina recently reported six 600-pound engines
stolen, with dealerships in upstate New York and Texas hit in
similar fashion, according to a June 2 report in Soundings Trade
Only Today. Working-group member Daniel Rutherford, claims
director for Maritime Program Group, a leading marina and
boatyard specialty insurance program company said, “They are
professional. They know what they are doing and get in and out
quickly leaving very little damage.”
What can boat owners and boating facilities do to prevent
thefts? It’s hard to stop a determined thief, but you can reduce
your chances of being targeted. BoatUS offers seven tips:
1. Take a look at your boat storage area. Is it lit at night?
Does it have motion-operated lighting or audible alarms? How
difficult is it to gain entry? Is there one or multiple ways to
enter? Does it have an effective, fully operating
video-surveillance system? Does the storage facility have
signage advising that license plates are being recorded and
property is under 24-hour surveillance?
2. Slow a thief down. Are helm electronics locked behind a solid
instrument cover? Use tamper-resistant fasteners for mounting
electronics and outboard locking devices. Using a special nut
with an engine-mounting bolt that requires a special key can
help.
3. Make stealing expensive electronics less appealing by
engraving and posting a warning (this goes for the outboard,
too). Create and keep at home an engine and electronics
inventory list that includes manufacturer and serial number, and
take plenty of pictures – including the boat.
4. Be wary of suspicious questions. In most of the boat
dealership theft cases, a suspect posed as a boat shopper on the
day before the theft occurred. For boat owners, loose lips sink
ships. Boaters should remain cautious to questions from
strangers wanting to know more about access. Get to know your
dockside neighbors so you can more readily recognize suspicious
activity and people who don't belong.
5. Consider adding a boat tracking device that can sound an
early alarm if something’s amiss.
6. Yamaha outboard engine owners may want to investigate Yamaha
Customer Outboard Protection, or Y-COP. Y-COP is available with
the manufacturer’s Command Link (CL) and Command Link Plus (CLP)
systems.
7. Help get the word out. If you are a victim of theft, ask your
local law enforcement to share the information on the National
Crime Information Center (NCIC), a computerized database of
documented criminal-justice information available to virtually
every law-enforcement agency in the U.S. or add to state
crime-tracking databases.

Marine
Propulsion Execs Meet With D.C. Officials........
On Tuesday,
executives from marine engine manufacturers, including Mercury
Marine, Evinrude, Yamaha, Indmar, Volvo-Penta and Torqeedo, met
with leaders of the House of Representatives and the Trump
Administration to discuss the regulatory and legislative effects
on recreational boating.
The engine
execs met with Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, EPA
Administrator Scott Pruitt, and Chairman John Shimkus. They
discussed the reformation of the Renewable Fuel Standard, the
promotion of E15 education for consumers, and the offering of
biobutanol as an alternative fuel.
With the
EPA's looming announcement of the renewable volume obligations,
which will determine the amount of corn ethanol in the fuel
supply, the engine execs emphasized to the EPA the issues marine
engines have with fuel blends containing more than 10% ethanol,
the lack of consumer education to prevent misfueling, and the
promising potential of alternative fuels........
