Hey, Bill,
Thanks to procrastination, we had one more great day on the water. We've been putting off winterizing the Y2Katy for weeks now and seeing how old man winter took a few days off, Mary and I cruised down to the Grafton Harbor on Friday. We had an excellent lunch at the Grafton Harbor Bar and Grill, then we headed upriver to the Two Branch sluice and spent a couple of very relaxing hours on the boat and on the sandbar. But unfortunately, we did end up winterizing after we got back to Lake Center. I guess the fun's over until next spring.
Rick, Mary and Katy Estes
RiverBill
says..... Your right...Ol' Man Winter is just around the corner,
cold weather is moving this way quickly.
I see that the autographed buoy is still standing on the sandbar behind Two
Branch Island. Thanks for the pictures.

Our River
Pictures and e-mail of the Day....... are from Judy
Meinershagen, who hails out of the Yacht Club in the Houseboat.....
"Beads, Beads, Beads".
Judy
wrote in her e-mail:
It was a beautiful Saturday, November 25, with the temps in the 70's. Beautiful day for a
boat ride, right?
Greg and Peggy Coletta jumped into the Shark with some River friends and off they go. They were not gone from the Yacht Club of St. Louis
.....15 minutes when Scott and Lisa Hickey (Ching), received a distress call that the Shark had run aground and was taking on water. Scott, Lisa, Gary and Judy
(Meinershagen) jumped into the Ching and off we went to the
rescue. When we got to the Shark, we could clearly see that an I/O was not going to be able to get in close enough to pull him off the sand. To the rescue comes River Runner (Carl and Mary Tiemann and friends). After about two hours of maneuvering and pumping water out of the Shark (thanks to Steve Huebner), they were able to turn the Shark around and begin the move back to the Yacht Club. Greg found a little humor once we got close to the Yacht Club, and held up the Sign "For Sale by Owner".
Just another typical day on the River with boating friends.
RiverBill
says......It's good to have friends willing to drop everything in a moments
notice and go help a fellow boater in distress. These are real boaters
and true river people.
Good
job everyone !

Friday
The "Picture of the Day" from one year ago
(2005).......was a picture of the Grafton Ferry going through the chute between the
islands that separate the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers at the confluence of
the two rivers. Robert Cope captured the autumn colors on the tree nearest to
us that seems to jump out in front of everything else in the picture, which
really contrasts to the greenery on the island on the other side of the
ferry.
In the background are the bluffs along the Great River Road ....And Oh
Yeah...That blue water on a bright and sunny Fall day. Looks like a good
day to take a ride on the Ferry.

To all Wake boarders ,water-skiers, friends, is it getting to COLD for you ??????
Well I thought I would announce an exciting event which I do every year and have done for the past 20 years
WATER-SKIING
ON NEW YEARS DAY on the Mississippi in Front of the ARCH in St Louis
CRAZY sure it is but I have done this to raise $$$$$$$$ for Charity. The $$$ raised will promote
water-skiing for Disabled Athletes who are now forced to be in Wheelchairs.
The money raised is used to purchase specialized water-skis & equipment for the Disabled. We will be doing some Snow
Skiing this winter & the we then do an annual Learn to Water Ski Day on Creve Coeur Lake every July with over 50 Disabled Athletes
water-skiing for two days ITS AWESOME and we now have a Specialized Wakeboard for them to ride on as well
None of this would be available for the Disabled Athletes with out the courage of several people who raise $$$ MONEY &
water-ski on New Years Day and the many friends & sponsors who donate their $$ to the event along with the support & sponsorship of STATEAMIND Watersports and TIGE Boats who bring the Boats to the river so we can ski
So what do you think are you ready for the CHALLENGE ??? COME OUT AND
WATER-SKI WITH ME !!! If your not its OK, your support is important too. Each year many of your have contributed to this event but just think if you asked a friend to donate too!! Our fundraising could easily double
We really need people to help us raise $$$$ for Disabled Athletes. Skiers can promote it by having people sponsor them for their Courage going in the cold water, Non Skiers can Promote it by telling friends about the event and asking them to help promote
Water-skiing & Snow Skiing for Disabled Athletes & children. Many people have seen us on TV & in the paper every New Years Day.
OH did I forget you also have the chance to get yourself on TV or in the News Paper each year if you would like to ski. Do something crazy wear something crazy wear nothing , we have had all kinds of crazy antics so be creative. All skiers who raise over $200 will get a Gift Certificate for a free
Water-ski Lesson from Lakeshore Ski Company
If you would like to help, ski, attend, raise $$ or any thing please send me your e-mail and
I will forward you the necessary info and set some plans for reaching our Goal!!!
Send an e-mail to Hotttdog@aol.com
Many of you have supported me & contributed to this event for many years just think if you asked your Company, a friend, relative, co-worker or neighbor and they donated we could double our donation to the
charity. I HAVE ATTACHED A DONATION SHEET FOR YOUR USE PLEASE take a look and tell someone about the COLD water we will be skiing in and the fun it brings to our Disabled Athletes,
I know they will pitch in.
I send a letter to friends, customers, relatives and I have people from all around the United States who donate $$ to me each year last year I raised over $9700.00 by myself do you think you can help me break the $10,000.00 goal. I have never done it but have been close several years.

Last
Year's River Picture of the Day
------ What picture
held the anchor spot on RiverBill's last year on this day ?
The "Picture of the Day" from one year ago
(2005) .......was of the excavating
at the
new Grafton Harbor. Charles Wickenhauser, the Manager of the Harbor, submitted the pictures
along with the following e-mail update on the progress at the harbor ;
Hello
Bill,
I thought I would submit an update on the Grafton Harbor.
To expedite completion we have contracted Shoremaster to
furnish us with turnkey completion of the docks. What this
means is that the docks are being constructed at the same time
as the excavation.
Since
they obviously can't be constructing docks in the midst of
excavation the docks are being constructed offsite and will be
floated in complete and ready to hook up. We literally make
three
(water,
sewer and electric) hookups and they are operational.
Using this production method will allow us to begin accepting
new slipholder and transient boats into the Marina as early as
March 1st, 2006.

Charles

RiverBill
says....Well it
sure looks different now than it did 1 year ago. I think it's one of
the best harbors on Alton Pool. Just about in the middle of everything
and at the confluence of the Illinois & Mississippi Rivers ...Plus it's
located close to a lot of the Missouri marinas. It's has a nice marina
restaurant and it's close to all of the neat things in the city of
Grafton....
I have enjoyed all of my stays at the harbor....And even made a few new

Our River
Pictures of the Day....... were taken yesterday
evening. It's some shots of the logging company barging cut timber
across the main channel of the Mississippi from Two Branch Island to the
Missouri side of the river where they are stacked on the bank, loaded on
trucks and hauled away.
The tow in the picture came to an almost complete stop as it waited for the
logging barge and tug to cross the channel and get to it's destination just
below Two Branch Marina.. Then the tow just seemed to float past ....as
not to make any waves for the loggers.
...And finally they are up against the bank unloading the logs. (taken
