Mississippi River At Grafton, Illinois
Business Owners Eager To Reopen In
Grafton........
Tourism is a major economic driver for
Grafton, Illinois and the COVID-19 outbreak and recent flooding
have been devastating for the restaurants and other businesses
there. Some 60 percent of Grafton's revenue comes from tourism.
The Loading Dock Bar and Grill has been
fortunate as the majority of their seating is outside. The
establishment still had to reduce the number of seats from 800
to 600 to maintain social distancing.
Peter Allen, co-owner of The Loading Dock
says that they are glad to be reopening as funds were starting
to run a bit short and the bills keep coming, whether you're
open for business or not........

Mississippi River At Alton, Illinois
State Rep.
Urges Preparation For Flooding........
In order to get local residents ready for
heavy rainfall and flooding, Illinois State Representative
Monica Bristow (D-Alton) is recommending everyone make
preparations for severe weather.
Bristow says that the area has been adapting
to flooding for years, but it is always important to go over
ways to best prepare and remain safe. He adds that with the
current COVID-19 situation, it is also been easy to be
distracted from preparing for the spring weather as they
normally would.
Bristow
suggest that residents living within the flood-prone regions to
develop an emergency supply kit and have it ready to go. The
kit should include a battery powered radio with extra batteries,
flashlights, bottled drinking water, a three day supply of
non-perishable food and a first aid kit.
Bristow is
also suggesting that residents of flood-prone areas keep
important documents in a safe deposit box or other secure
location to ensure that they are safe from flooding........

River Cruising News
Two River Cruise Lines Release 2020
Cruising Schedules........
Recently, two American river cruise passenger
lines released their cruise schedules for the summer of 2020.
American Cruise Lines will be first to resume operations, with
the American Song departing on June 20 along the Columbia
and Snake River systems. ACL's new vessel, American Harmony is
slated to depart from Memphis, Tennessee on June 28th.
The American Queen Steamboat Company had
originally intended to resume river cruising around the end of
June, however, American Queen CEO and President John Waggoner
announced on May 27th that they would be extending their cruise
resumption dates into July.
The company states that the revised timeline
was in response to the evolving nature of the COVID-19 outbreak
and following continued governmental restrictions at many ports,
cities and public institutions. AQSC has also partnered with
Ochsner Health to help with new health protocols to protect
their passengers........

We received a call today from the U.S. Coast Guard advising us
that all passengers will be required to stay in their vehicles

effect until the restrictions are lifted.

going today. Maybe the weather will improve for the week end.
See you at the end of the road. 05-16-20
Know everyone is curious when our bath rooms will open. Not for awhile I am sorry to report. We cannot open until we can make sure you guys are all safe. We do not have the necessary supplies to keep it completely sanitized on a daily basis. Also the Missouri DNR just sent us a new email regarding EPA new guidelines on our water systems. SO will order another blue box, sorry for the inconvenience, but not going to be forever we hope.

St. Charles Boat & Motor update:
Due to the unprecedented time that
the country is experiencing, we are implementing some additions
to our normal routine:
At this time, we remain open for business, operating with a
small staff. For the safety of our customers, our staff, and our
families, in addition to our normal operations, we are offering
some alternative means of interacting with us as well – for both
purchasing products (from parts to a new boat) and for your
service needs.
If you’d like to shop any new or used inventory with us with
minimized social interaction, we can schedule individual
appointments or send you a virtual video tour of a unit. You can
always shop our inventory on our website as well, at
www.stcharlesboat.com. We currently have some huge discounts
on our in stock inventory! If you’re interested in a private
appointment, please e-mail us at zeke@stcharlesboat.com or you
can call us at 636-947-0106 during normal business hours.
For your service needs, we can schedule a touchless drop off and
pick-up with you. For touchless drop off or pick-up, e-mail
Jerry at jerry@stcharlesboat.com or Zeke at zeke@stcharlesboat.com
for scheduling and instructions.
We realize that this too will pass and we can return to a more
normal routine, which means getting back to boating for many of
us!
We will keep our customer’s updated by posting on our
website and
Facebook page.
