Mississippi River Near New Orleans, Louisiana Hurricane Ida Causes Mississippi River Flow To Reverse........
On Sunday, Hurricane Ida came ashore as a Category 4 storm, cutting power to all of New Orleans, Louisiana, taking roofs off of buildings and causing the Mississippi River to reverse it's flow.
U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Gabriel Wisdom says that they have received over a dozen barges breaking free. In Lafitte, approximately 35 miles south of New Orleans, a barge came loose and struck a bridge.
According to Ricky Boyette, a spokesman for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, officials detected a "negative flow" along the Mississippi River because of the storm surge........

U.S. Waterways Boaters Dealing With Low Water Conditions........
As of the end of last month, officials report that an unprecedented 90 to 100 percent of the Western United States has been enduring a record-setting drought. These drought conditions are being felt in other parts of the nation as well.
Access to the water has been hampered by the low water conditions at lakes in Utah, New Mexico, California, Minnesota and Illinois to name a few. This makes it impossible for officials to maintain normal water access.
Illinois Department of Natural Resources Conservation Police Chief Rafael Gutierrez says that water levels are very low in some areas, making navigation difficult for even the smallest of vessels.........

Added Sunday Lake Of The Ozarks High Speeds, Huge Crowds And High Aerial Acrobatics Round Out Day 1 Of The Shootout........
During the first day of the 2021 Lake of the Ozarks Shootout, 71 boats made better than 100 runs, including pontoons, big catamarans, V-bottoms and even amazingly quick electric boats.
Thirty of the boats were able to accelerate to triple digit speeds over the 3/4 mile race course. The reigning Top Gun American Ethanol mustered a top speed of 184 on it's third run of the day. This is a bit off from the ethanol powered Mystic's record run of 204 MPH.
During the Shootout Air Show, a plane shooting pink smoke flew past the crowd in a gender reveal event for the first baby of the son and daughter-in-law of "Captain" Ron and Nicole Duggan, owners of Captain Ron's Bar & Grill. Captain Ron's is the waterfront hotspot that hosts the Shootout.;.......

Missouri River At Maryland Heights, Missouri Howard Bend Levee District Has Plan That May Encourage Development........
The Howard Bend Levee District is planning on constructing millions of dollars worth of new stormwater infrastructure and hoping that will attract new development to offset the district's financial shortfalls.
This plan may have eased the concerns of many of the levee district's critics that received unexpectedly high bills last year. The sudden hike was to cover the difference in revenue that had been withheld during a dispute with Hollywood Casino.
If the new pumping station is constructed, it may lead to considerable development of the Howard Bend area of the Missouri River floodplain, where the levee, the Page extension (Highway 364) and Highway 141 extension were supposed to have spawned a buildup years ago........

Mississippi River Journeys The Spirit Of Peoria Offers Nostalgic River Journey........
On Tuesday, the Spirit of Peoria riverboat stopped in along the St. Louis riverfront before heading back up to Grafton, Illinois. The archetypal riverboat is a nod to the bygone era when steamers plied the rivers, carrying not only passengers, but goods as well.
The Spirit of Peoria takes one back to the Gilded Age with it's appearance, decor, ambiance and music. Barry Cloyd entertains passengers with a guitar and banjo, while Ted Lemen lends his voice and piano styling. Brian "Fox" Ellis is on hand as a storyteller.
Upon arriving at Grafton, the Spirit of Peoria docked for the night at Grafton's The Loading Dock Restaurant, all while the vessel's calliope was belting out a catchy tune........

Missouri River Near New Haven, Missouri Paddleboard Maker Adding Microbrewery To His Shop........
After Shane Camden built stand-up paddleboards for himself and his wife, he quit working for a homebuilder and started making paddleboards, surfboards and wakeboards out of his basement under the name Timber Longboard Co.
He eventually found his niche making unique boards for the river =racing community, so he quit making surfboards and focused on the paddleboards. In 2018, he quit his day job and dove into the paddleboard business full time.
Camden established PaddleStop New Haven in the town of New Haven along the Missouri River near Washington. He offers canoe and paddleboard rentals, shuttles and guided tours along the Missouri River.
In November, Camden and two partners will be launching the PaddleStop Brewery in the back half of the New Haven building. They intend to offer up top eight craft beers at a time with food from the neighboring meat smoker and deli, Lang-A-Tang........

Boat Propulsion Manufacturer Candela Introduces High Power Electric Boat Motors........
Candela, a Swedish electric boat manufacturer, recently introduced their new electric drive unit for their premium electric boats. Called the C-Pod, the company claims that they are the most efficient and longest lasting boat motors ever offered.
The C-Pod is made up from two electric motors, each driving a counter-rotating propeller to produce a combined power output of 67 horsepower per pod. This power level is created by a compact torpedo-shaped design that weighs in at only 110 pounds.
The C-Pod has been designed to have a nearly _unlimited lifetime", due to the unit's long maintenance interval of 3,000 hours. THere are no oil changes or other major upkeep required........

Tennessee River Near Grand Rivers, Kentucky Construction Work Has Started On New, Larger Lock........
Construction work has begun on a new, modernized 1,200 foot lock that will work in conjunction with the existing 600 foot lock at the Kentucky Lake Dam along the Tennessee River.
The project had officially started back in 1996, however, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers report that it was under funded until 2016. Since that time, work has been steadily progressing on the project.
Deb Calhoun, senior vice president of the Waterways Council says that the towing industry, the local commercial tow operators and the shippers moving commodities will benefit greatly from the larger lock chamber........

The Great Lakes Genetic Research Should Help Lake Trout Population........

Yesterday's Pictures of the Day in 2005.... were from Steve Schulte...
The 2005 Jamaica Daze Party took place on the upper sandbar behind the Isle of Two Branch last Saturday. Once again our good friend, Steve Schulte, took these great pictures from one of the helicopters that were flying around in the late afternoon.
Steve also sent us a close up picture of some of the boats and a beach shot at dinner time of the food table and palm trees. I am also including a picture that shows some of the surrounding scenery.
THANKS STEVE !!

Added Sunday Mississippi River Near Rock Island, Illinois Hundreds Of Paddlers Turn Out For 2021 Floatzilla........

Susan McPeters has attended every Floatzilla, and says that Floatzilla is a great opportunity to promote canoeing and kayaking, as well as the wonders of the Mississippi River........

Added Sunday Mississippi River At Dorena, Missouri A Trip On The Dorena-Hickman Ferry Is A Trip Back In Time........
In many ways, a trip across the Mississippi River aboard the Dorena-Hickman Ferry is a trip back in time. The ferry has been running off and on for close to 180 years.
Former ferry owner High Lattus says that the Dorena-Hickman Ferry was founded in 1840, and grew along with the surrounding community. The town of Hickman was originally founded in 1819 as Mills Point. The town's name was changed to Hickman in 1837, making it the largest and second oldest city along the Mississippi River in Kentucky. Mark Twain stated that Hickman was a pretty town perched on a handsome hill.
By the early 20th century, the Dorena-Hickman Ferry business was booming. Reportedly, the roads in Missouri were primitive back then, and the roads in Kentucky were better established. In order to get their crops to market, Missouri farmers had to get them, across the Mississippi River and the only way to do that was the Dorena-Hickman Ferry........

Missouri River At St. Charles, Missouri St. Charles Campaigning To Bring Controversial Statue To The Riverfront........
The push is on to bring a controversial statue of Lewis, Clark and Sacagawea to the St. Charles Riverfront. The statue had been removed from Charlottesville, Virginia after Sacagawea descendants claimed that the 1919 statue depicted the guide in a subservient role.
St. Charles Mayor Dan Borgmeyer says that the statue does feature Sacagawea at the feet of Lewis and Clark, but it is because she was a tracker and guide.
Borgmeyer added that there is another Sacagawea descendant living in the St. Charles area that is in favor of bringing the statue to the St. Charles Riverfront. The City and Mayor have set up a GoFundMe campaign for the cause........

Mississippi River At Kimmswick, Missouri Another Riverboat ........
Local officials and town merchants are hopeful that riverboats can help put the tiny Jefferson County town of Kimmswick, Missouri back on the map. On Friday morning, the riverboat American Countess docked there.
Around 90 passengers got off the boat and onto busses headed into town. The busses transported passengers to the Burgess-How House, as well as other historical sites, stores and restaurants..
The riverboat visits have been made possible by the new $1.3 million dock that is outfitted with bollards which help secure the riverboats into place. Neil Breitweiser, the executive director of the Jefferson County Port Authority says that the bollards are piled into bedrock and filled with concrete, making them strong enough to hold the American Queen, the largest known riverboat in the nation.........
