specifically at river cruises, bookings were up 102 percent
compared to last year.
A AAA study conducted in December 2022
revealed that 52 percent of U.S> adults were just as likely or
more likely to consider taking a cruise vacation as they were
prior to the pandemic. This is an increase from 45 percent in
2021........

Kyle Pierce Foundation is hoping to continue to grow the event

Missouri Boating Safety
Boaters, Water Patrol Discuss Marijuana
Rules........
Last year, local boater Dan Brown brought
boaters and the Missouri State Water Patrol together to promote
safe boating and to help foster relationships between boaters
and law enforcement agents.
On Friday, around 30 boaters met with two
agents with the Missouri State Water Patrol at the Saint Louis
Yacht Club. One of the topics brought up was the recreational
use of marijuana, as it passed this year.
Boat Owners Association of the United States
(BoatUS) says that boating under the influence laws apply the

Mississippi River At Alton, Illinois
The Clark Bridge Closed In 1956........
While Trolling The Internet.... We reeled in
a photo showing a photo from the late 1950s showing a ferry
loading vehicles near the Missouri approach to the Old Clark
Bridge spanning the Mississippi River at Alton. In 1956, the
Clark Bridge was closed so that a new road deck could be
installed. Motorists either used the Chain of Rocks Bridge or
this ferry to cross the Mississippi River....
