The
picture on this day last year was a shot of a Turtle Fest in the Lehmond Island
Slough. These guys were all negotiating for a spot on this one log
to get in some "Sun Time". There were more turtles on
the log when we first seen them, but some slipped off into the water as I
approached. Looks like there are still about 15 -16 left when this
picture was taken, depending if you count them on the small picture or on the
full size one. Lehmond Island Slough is located between Dardenne
Slough and Highway B at approximately the UMR 227 -228 mile marker.

This

It was our first trip out (on our own) in our SeaRay Sundancer 320. We
keep it at Yacht Club of St. Louis. The picture was randomly taken of a
jet skier with Grafton and a beautiful home on the bluff in the background.
It was a very nice day to be on the river.

Bill,
Attached is a photo of MY house boat.
I've seen the one you had posted on your website Friday, 04/21/06.I'm not one
that likes to have second best, so I opt out for the deluxe model with twin
outboards. I'd challenge the owner of the other houseboat to a race for pink
slips, but I currently have 169 monthly payments left on my rig before I can
can say she's all mine! I'd have it paid of by now if I didn't get that home
improvement loan last year, but them new hup caps sure look good on my mobile
home.

Captain Darryll Weil, an avid river boater and big contributor to this

of our river friends with a couple of good looking fish and a bit of a story.
Darryll
wrote in his e-nail:
Bill,
Went
down to Truman Lake to get in a little pre-fishing and familiarize myself with
the lake better before the Concord Lions Fish for Sight Tournament on the
29th. While searching for largemouth bass spots to fish I stumbled
across some hybrids (cross between a striper and a white bass) feeding on
shad. Managed to get two of them in the boat, lost one right at the boat
because my net wasn't big enough and one broke my line. The larger one
is 7 pounds and the smaller one is about 5 1/4 pounds. Should have seen
the one that got away!
Enjoy,

I'm over in China and I sure am glad I can get on your web site to get news from the River. I tried to make a deal on a
new boat. As you can see she is a real looker. I especially like the 57 Chevy fins. It's not the Mississippi, but a boat ride on the
Yellow Sea is better than nothing.
