We finally were able to get our houseboat from Lake City, MN, on the
Mississippi, to Town and Country Marina on Ken Lake. We finished the
trip yesterday evening, a trip that started in June of last year.
Having followed last years flood and having found a tug rope in our
props near Fulton IL, its been an unusual trip. Our first repair on
the starboard strut and shaft was of poor workmanship, and we lost the
rudder, shaft, and prop completely at Quincy, Illinois. We wintered
at the Art Keller Marina and recently had the repairs completed at Two
Rivers Marina across from Louisana, MO. We spent the last four days
taking the boat down river from there, up the Ohio, and into the
Tennessee. The best fishing was at river mile 88 on the Mississippi,
and I caught my first eel ever in the Ohio (not that I wanted to). In
spite of the setbacks, it's been a good trip. Now I can look forward
to crappie fishing this coming Spring in Jonathon Creek. I want to
thank those in this newsgroup who were kind enough to offer advice and
information.
