Clam Boat Catches More Than The Crew Bargained For........
While fishing for clams about 45 miles south of Long Island, New York, a crew aboard a clam boat dredged up two military shells, that apparently contained mustard gas. One crewman was severely sickened by the exposure to the chemical. Blood and urine samples confirmed that the chemical was indeed mustard gas. The vessel was fishing for clams in a charted munitions dumping area. The area has no fishing restrictions. Following WW II, the government used the oceans as dumping grounds for both conventional and chemical munitions. The practice had been abandoned by 1970........

Nautical Inventors Former Engineer Cruising Solar Powered Boat........
Richard Trudell, a retired engineer, was looking for a boat to cruise in, but was unable to find one that didn't make and noise. So he decided to build his own, equipped with solar panels on top of the vessel, to charge the batteries, which power two electric motors. The vessel can be operated with a joystick, or by remote control. Trudell is in talks with a Spokane boat manufacturer, Metalite, about bringing the solar powered boat to market........

5 Year Old, Neighbors Avert Tragedy........
James Braaten was cruising in a 17 foot runabout with his young daughters, and 1 year old nephew, when the boy fell off of the boat. He was wearing a lifejacket. When Braaton tried to retrieve the boy, he fell into the water as well, and in the process, knocked the shifter into reverse. Braaten was able to grab onto the boat, but was severely cut up by the prop as the boat turned lazy circles in reverse. The 1 year old nephew in the water was nearly struck by the boat. Bystanders were able to hop aboard another vessel, and approach the runaway boat, shouting instructions to the 5 year old on the pilot-less boat to turn off the key, which is what she did........

Grafton Winery And Brewhaus .......
Tucked along the bank of the Mississippi River, and offering a glass of an international award winning wine to complement the scenery, Mike and Lori Nikonovich's Grafton Winery and Brewhaus has many reasons to be open 7 days a week, year-round. Besides the obvious, the winery offers live music, murder-mystery parties, a restaurant, gift shop, and even a brewery. The Nikonovichs created this unique business by asking themselves what they would want in a winery........

There are other factors to be considered when trying to sort out the facts of the recent houseboat sinking being caused by cruiser wakes, such as the houseboat having an unstable design, the fact that the incident occurred in the dark, and even if all of the navigation rules had been followed, the outcome may have been the same........

Ancient Rivers New Study Suggests Rivers Once Ran Westerly........
An idea that a huge Amazon-like river system once flowed west across North America now has some evidence in the form of zircon mineral grains. The zircon grains found in the Colorado plains originated from the northern Appalachians, with a pit stop in Michigan. The only easily accessible Jurassic rocks in the Midwest are in Michigan quarries. The age dispersion of the zircons is similar in the Michigan and Colorado sandstone samples........

Jake The Kayaker 6100 mile Great Loop Adventure
Day 182
The big event in store for today was the Long Island Paddlers kayak club spring picnic. After two long days of touring the city I was happy to have such a simple and fun way to fill the day. After sleeping in a bit (lord knows I needed the rest) we stopped at the grocery store deli to pick up no less than 19 feet of sandwich along with salads and trimmings for the picnic. Without quite enough room in the car to haul everything we ended up putting the sandwiches in the cockpits of our kayaks in order to get it all to the picnic.....

Gulf Of Mexico Oil Spill Update Estimates State Cataclysm Will Last Into The Fall........
As BP has announced that their containment cap is now capturing a guesstimated hundred thousand-plus gallons of oil per day, the U.S. Coast Guard has spoken cautiously of the success, stating that the cap does not represent a success in halting the spill, a feat that will only be achieved when the gusher is sealed off with concrete. In the wake of the disaster, protesters are popping up urging a boycott of BP, however, Elvis made an appearance on behalf of the locally owned franchise, holding a sign that said "This BP Station Locally Owned. Be Kind"........

Picture of the Day 2009 .........was sent to us by Sherri Stanczak.
You can spot Mike and Sherri flying around over the river quite often in
their black and red powered parachute. Mike and Sherri hail out of
Lake Center Marina in the boat Belly Dancer.
absolutely love this RV but we recently rented a lot at the
River and no longer have a need to travel. We are wanting to just
buy a nice pull behind camper to leave down there and seems to be a
waste to have the motor home now. The motor home has 10,500 miles on
it and was taken care of very well. We performed regular maintenance
on it and will be happy to let anyone interested in it take a look.
WE WILL NOT RENT OUT FOR THE WEEKEND OR LEASE SO DON'T EVEN ASK. WE
ARE SELLING THE MOTOR HOME FOR $55,000 NO TRADES. We put a very
large down deposit on the RV and are asking right at our payoff
amount so this is a very good price especially considering the
excellent shape and low mileage. Additional info is as followed:

Safety
is paramount in everything done in the Corps of Engineers, whether
that is repelling down a miter gate leaf at Locks 27 to inspect for
stress fractures or metal fatigue or whether it’s providing safety
to the public and minimizing risk through flood protection projects.
Another opportunity and mandate the Corps has is to stress the
importance of safety to the public is through the District’s water
safety program.
