Nate and Christa in Pool 26 on 7-25-20
Mississippi River Journeys Michigan Couple Paddling The Mississippi River........
Nate Denofre is making the trip of a lifetime by paddling over 2,000 miles down the Mississippi River with just his wife Christa and his dog, Marci. For the past 90 days, the trio has been making their way to the Gulf Coast in a 17 foot canoe.
Nate has undertaken the journey to raise awareness and funds for the non-profit organization, Courage Incorporated, which helps disabled veterans and adults become one with nature.
Nate was born without legs and understands the concept of fear. He says everyone is disabled, as a disability is something that doesn't allow you to do something you should be able to do. He is hoping that his journey will help others turn their fear into courage.........

Added Sunday Mississippi River At Herculaneum, Missouri The River View Drew Couple To Their New Home........
Beloved memories of watching barges along the Mississippi River with her mother in St. Louis' Bellerive Park prompted Bev Dougherty and her husband to look for a weekend home along the Mississippi River.
For years, she and her husband Pat, searched for riverfront properties from north of St. Louis to Louisiana, Missouri, downstream to Chester, Illinois. Bev said that she wanted a place where she could see the whites of the riverboat captain's eyes.
Bev says that in 2012, her daughter Liz called and said that she had found a promising listing in Herculaneum, and they drove out to have a look. When she got out of the car and saw the expansive view of the river, she exclaimed "This is it!"........

Added Sunday River Destinations Ohio River At Cave-In-Rock, Illinois Cave-In-Rock Has Evolved From Pirate Lair To Tourist Attraction.........
Each year, several hundred thousand visitors trek to the tiny Ohio River village of Cave-In-Rock to take in the huge cave carved out of the limestone bluffs along the Ohio River. At one time, however, the cave wasn't very inviting.
An article written in 2015 and published in Atlas Obscura painted a dark picture of the cave. Headlined A Cave of Villainy on the Ohio River, the article made it clear that the cave was no tourist destination for pioneers and settlers heading west in the late 1700s and early 1800s.
The cave was "discovered" by French explorer M. De Lery in 1739. He called the cave caverne dans Le Roc. The article states that around 1790. the cave became a base camp for river pirates who would ambush flatboats carrying cargo along the Ohio River........

A little closer to home, the St. Louis Aquarium at Union Station allows visitors to celebrate Shark Week at any time. The attraction had opened in December, and following the short closure due to the COVID-19 outbreak, it reopened in early June.
The aquarium's Shark Canyon habitat makes visitors believe that they are along the coast of New Zealand or Australia as they watch sharks prowling through the water. The 250,000 gallon tank is home to blacktip and whitetip reef sharks, sandbar sharks, zebra and nurse sharks, as well as rays and largemouth guitarfish........

Mississippi River At Alton, Illinois Liberty Bank Alton Amphitheater Has Cancelled All Events........
On Monday, the Alton Amphitheater Commission voted Unanimously to cancel all remaining events scheduled for this year's Liberty Bank Amphitheater 2020 season.
According to amphitheater Chairman Robert Stephan, the decision was made at the state level, as the Department of Labor isn't inspecting amusement rides and the Health Department is not issuing food permits, which are required for food vendors before they are allowed to operate.
Stephan adds that it simply is not a good idea to host events that can draw hundreds or even thousands of people. He says that they have consulted with the Madison County Health Department and agree that any event with the potential to draw large crowds is not safe at this time........

Lake Of The Ozarks Man Killed In Freak Boating Accident........
Wednesday evening, an Illinois man was killed in a bizarre accident on the Lake of the Ozarks. The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports that 55 year old Craig Gathmann of Mainto, Ill. was killed after being struck by an anchor.
According to the MSHP, Gathmann and another person were aboard a 1998 Four Winns 240 anchored in a cove near the 20 Mile Marker. At approximately 5 pm, they began to leave the cove, but apparently forgot to pull up the anchor.
MSHP Sergeant Scott White says that witnesses tried to alert the boaters that they were pulling something in the water to no avail. Apparently, as the boat gained speed, the anchor rose in the water and tension increased on the line. When the anchor breached the surface, the MSHP believes a slingshot effect was created, propelling the anchor into Gathmann........

Mississippi River Near Red Wing, Minnesota Sheriff Hoping For Help Identifying 3 Newborns Found In River........
The Goodhue County Sheriff's Office is looking to utilize DNA testing to help solve the deaths of three newborns found in the Mississippi River at three different locations between 1999 and 2007.
The Sheriff's Office has allocated $5,000 to fund genetic genealogy analysis of the first body, that of a baby girl who was found in the water in 1999 by an angler near Red Wing, Minnesota.
The genealogy report will compare the girl's DNA with volunteers in GEDmatch, a public DNA database where participants upload their DNA in hopes of identifying relatives. Law enforcement has been utilizing this database to solve cold cases thanks to the popularity of at-home DNA kits........

So here how it works it is a free shuttle from Alton to Grafton or. Grafton to alton and no you do not have to stay at the 3rd Chute LOL you can go anywhere you want in town and pick up what hour you want to take it back and forth so it starts Saturday and Sunday at 1pm at the Alton location that is where it is based out of so every odd hour starting at 1 in Alton you can catch a bus every even hour you can catch it in Grafton we will be running it fairly late on Saturday nights and Sunday not as late... the bus runs off of tips so we appreciate any tips and donations you can give while riding the bus if this works out we may put on more stops and add more buses we are going to try this and see if we can't get it going.. so take the ride up the River Road. While having a cold beer and listen to some tunes and not worried about getting in trouble LOL if you know what I mean thanks any questions put them to the page or any other questions put it on the 3rd Chute II site and we will answer all of them and thanks for all of the support we hope to grow and keep making things better better and better any suggestions are welcome 3rd Chute Upcoming Events.. click here |

Reader Commentary Yesterday's Century Coronado Story........
Ahoy Bill,
Hope all is well, we are healthy here. The story about the
Century Coronado really brought back some memories. My folks
boated out of Woodland Harbor in the 60's with several other
families, each weekend we would cruise up to Turkey Island
and anchor behind the sand bar. Every night we would have a
bonfire and just enjoy being on the river. |

Boating Legislation Wisconsin Rep. Backs Legislation Supporting The Mississippi River........
Wisconsin Representative Ron Kind is pushing for legislation aimed at helping the waterways across the nation. The Water Resources Development Act is intended to support the management and monitoring of the Mississippi River.
Kind believes that the legislation is necessary because of what the river offers. He notes that among the uses that the river provides, including outdoor recreation, commercial navigation and tourism, the legislation recognizes this as well as striking the correct balance amongst those uses.,
The Water Resources Development Act includes support for the Lock and Dam system along the Mississippi River........

Mississippi River Journeys 80 Year Old Navy Veteran Paddling The Mississippi River........
Stanley Stark, an 80 year old retired Navy Veteran recently began a journey down the Mississippi River in a kayak. He started out in Lake Itasca on July 15th, and has probably traveled about 200 miles.
Stark says that he is paddling for a cause. He believes that the trip might just motivate some older people that are sitting on the couch, waiting to pass away, to get up off of the couch. He adds that he is also raising money for a non-profit homeless housing development, Sarge's Place.
Stark says that the trip so far has been peaceful, with the exception of the first 53 miles of the trip. Stark notes that his kayak took a beating near Bemidji, as the Mississippi River is shallow.........

Waterways Near Chicago, Illinois Close To 60 Different Types Of Fish In Chicagoland Waters Up From About 10 Different Types in the 80's....
Over the past several decades, the variety of fish found in the rivers surrounding Chicago has increased. Officials are attributing the species increase to a decrease in the amount of pollution found in the Chicago and Calumet Rivers.
This report, which was released Monday by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, claims that there are close to 60 different types of fish swimming the Chicagoland waterways.
According to the Chicago Tribune, there were fewer than 10 types of fish in these waterways during the 1980s. Carp is the most prolific species in the rivers. Some of the other species now appearing in the rivers are bluegill, catfish, largemouth bass and yellow perch.........

Mississippi River Near Kellogg, Iowa Corps Finds Permanent Storage Spot For Pool 5 Dredged Material........
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recently announced that they have found a storage spot for the dredged material removed from the Pool 5 region of the Mississippi River.
Paul Machajewski, the dredged material manager for the Corps' St. Paul District says that they have purchased 1,000 acres of land southeast of Kellogg, Iowa which will serve as permanent storage site for silt dredged from the Mississippi River in Pool 5.
Each year, the Corps removes about 120,000 cubic yards of material from Pool 5 to keep the channel navigable for barge traffic. Initially, about 75 acres of the property will be used for storing dredge spoils. Another 300 acres are considered to be wetlands, and the remainder will be leased as farmland........

The Meandering Mississippi River Photo Taken From Space Shows River's Divergence From State Boundaries........
The Mississippi River has been used to define the boundaries of several states in the United States' Heartland. A recent photo taken by an astronaut aboard the International Space Station offers a look at how the meandering of the Mississippi River has affected those state borders.
Over time, the river meanders across the floodplain, and due to the changes in the channel's position, some farms, rural lands and even towns have found themselves on the opposite bank of the river.
Over the centuries, the turbulent meandering of the Mississippi River has transformed the floodplain, creating oxbow lakes and carving new channels in the surrounding landscape........

Lake Michigan Near South Haven, Michigan 10 People Were Overcome By Carbon Monoxide........
Authorities in Michigan report that early Saturday evening, 10 people that were aboard a boat on Lake Michigan were sickened after being exposed to carbon monoxide.
Around 2:45 pm Saturday afternoon, the authorities received a distress call from the captain of the 32 foot vessel, which was traveling from St. Joseph to South Haven, Michigan.
Responders intercepted the vessel near the South Haven Pier. Reportedly, all 10 people were evaluated and treated at the hospital........

Lake Of The Ozarks Water Safety Council, MSHP Honor Local Heroes........
The Lake of the Ozarks Water Safety Council and the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Water Patrol Division recently presented a Citation of Valor award to the owner of Bridgeview Marina, Greg Newell and employees Ainsley Cusick, Daisie Reinhart and Craig Berry for their brave actions on May 2, 2020.
On that day, a watercraft was fueling at the Bridgeview Marina gas dock, when an explosion ejected two people from the boat. The dock crew hit the fuel pump emergency shut-off,. cut the vessel free of the dock and dove into the water to rescue the people in the water. Another boater assisted in the rescue efforts. Unfortunately, one of the boat's occupants did not survive the explosion.
The swift action of these heroes saved lives and prevented a potentially catastrophic fire of the surrounding docks, fuel storage tanks, pumps and other vessels........

Boat Manufacturer Lamborghini Introducing A 63 Foot Yacht........
Lamborghini has teamed up with The Italian Sea Group to build the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63, which is a collaboration with the car-builder that will be offered on a limited basis to pay homage to Lamborghini's founding in 1963.
The project came to life through several collaborative sessions with Lamborghini's Centro Stile and was inspired by the Lamborghini Sian FKP 37, which is a hybrid supercar that features technology and customizable details.
The yacht will be rigged with a pair of 2,000 horsepower MAN V-12 engines, allowing the it to reach an estimated 70 MPH, making it the fastest in the Tecnomar fleet. Typical of Lamborghini, the yacht will be constructed with carbon fiber, keeping the vessel's weight down to 24 tons........

So here how it works it is a free shuttle from Alton to Grafton or. Grafton to alton and no you do not have to stay at the 3rd Chute LOL you can go anywhere you want in town and pick up what hour you want to take it back and forth so it starts Saturday and Sunday at 1pm at the Alton location that is where it is based out of so every odd hour starting at 1 in Alton you can catch a bus every even hour you can catch it in Grafton we will be running it fairly late on Saturday nights and Sunday not as late... the bus runs off of tips so we appreciate any tips and donations you can give while riding the bus if this works out we may put on more stops and add more buses we are going to try this and see if we can't get it going.. so take the ride up the River Road. While having a cold beer and listen to some tunes and not worried about getting in trouble LOL if you know what I mean thanks any questions put them to the page or any other questions put it on the 3rd Chute II site and we will answer all of them and thanks for all of the support we hope to grow and keep making things better better and better any suggestions are welcome 3rd Chute Upcoming Events.. click here |

Added Sunday Lake Of The Ozarks Angler Lands 60 Pound Catfish From The Dock........
It took Jack Tyler more than an hour to land a hefty catfish, and once he brought it onto the dock at the 3.5 Mile Marker, he saw that the blue catfish was indeed a big one.
It took two people to wrestle the 60 pound blue catfish onto the dock. Tyler quipped that it was "An Epic battle!". The fish was caught on a combination of bloodbait and nightcrawler. Once the fish was filleted, it yielded 14 pounds of meat.
This was not Tyler's first big catch; on Christmas Day, 2019, he reeled in a giant channel catfish that struck on a bit of hotdog. That fish was caught on a friend's dock near the 28 Mile Marker. Tyler threw the fish back thinking the state record was 77 pounds. It turns out that was the record, but for flathead catfish. The record for channel cat is 34 pounds, 10 ounces........

Over the past six months, regardless of whether we spend our days on bodies of water, deserts, or mountain ranges, many crew members aboard the great ship Earth have been keeping a weather eye open. We've seen red skies at dawn and have been warned. Lots of folks are seriously under the weather in the midst of a raging tempest that’s not bound to the winds nor soothed by the sun. Some of us live in states that battened down the hatches, pulled up the gangplank, and quarantined those who were not already aboard before the downpour. It seems we’ve boarded a ship bound for Drakes Passage and are enduring the century’s roughest sea passage.

Dock, Jerusalem, RI. Photo by Scott Berstein Note: We are all rounding the Horn this summer. It's a scary time for whether you look off the port or starboard rails, it's clear we've not left this maelstrom a'stern. Scott Berstein is a Narragansett local, who I believes winter's-over as a teacher. I found his posts on the local Face Book groups for Narragansett and South Kingstown. Scott set up a challenge to capture "perfect" sunset and sunrise venues in southern Rhode Island. His photos are posted at the beginning and end of each of these summer days. I can't thank him enough for bringing forth hope and peace, and the promise of "carpe diem.".

Flood Insurance A Quick Guide To Filing For Flood Insurance........
The cost of flooding can be devastating, and according to Farmers Insurance, approximately 50 percent of floods occur during the summer months. There are plenty of questions surrounding flood insurance, and here is the answers to some of them:
How much will flood repairs cost? FEMA reports that only 1 inch of water inside a home can cost over $25,000 to repair, and a foot of water can cost over $29,000 in repairs for a 1,000 square foot home.
Will Homeowners or renters insurance cover flood damage? Most homeowners or renters policies will not cover flood damage without a specific flood insurance plan........

During flood of 1993 the USS Inaugural broke loose from her moorings on the

Historic Steamboats A Look At The 8th Steamer Natchez........
If you find yourself in New Orleans, make sure to reserve some time to visit the Natchez along the Toulouse Street Wharf. This Natchez was built in 1975 and is the ninth steamboat to have the name. All of the preceding Natchez boats were sidewheelers, except the eighth incarnation.
The eighth Natchez was built by the Howard Shipyard along the Ohio River at Jeffersonville, Indiana and launched in 1891. The vessel cost $43,000 and was 225 feet in length and 40 feet wide. She was powered by engines with 20 cylinders and an 8 foot stroke. Three boilers provided the steam.
In November 1896, the Natchez sank in the Mississippi River, just upstream of it's namesake city, with some 1,700 bales of cotton and 8,757 sacks of seeds aboard. The cause of the sinking was attributed to dry hull seams........
