If anyone wants to watch the steam boat parade from our house just let me know. They go right by our dock.

Yes- You'll have to plan on coming over to watch the steamboats. Unfortunately we have a party to go to Saturday night or we would all go to Buckey's. Thanks for letting me know.

The Steamboat Rally ended Yesterday. The parade went right by my house, but some other people were upset because the parade did not go down into the coves as it usually does. I have a friend ( Doug ) who owns a steamboat so I had a nice ride. He said people can come by and get rides all week and even for the parade. Many of the boats in the parade had only the driver in them. Doug said it is the largest rally in the world. They had close to 50 boats this year. He goes to rallies all over the northeast and Florida. Attached are a few pictures of my ride.

For the first time in many years I went by boat to Lees Mills on Sat, what a wonderful day, and all them steamboats was great to see. I also seen the Dam up beyond the show area, did not know that was there and it was flowing pretty good. To all them there Steamboat Capt. Job well done.
I am wondering when someone is gonna take a pontoon boat and make a steamer out of that? The possiblities for propulsion would be great.

GBG, Some lovely photos and you look very much at home in the steamboat. Do I see a steamboat in your future (rather than a pontoon boat)???
