Keith, who is computerless on weekends, spotted the MAGNOLIA BELLE tonight at Louisville's Waterfront Park.

Judy,
She is here in Louisville, has been since Tuesday, and will be here till Monday. Capt. Joe Baer's deckhand got sick and had to leave so he has made arrangements to have a deckhand to move her Monday.

Judy,
They have decided to winter that beautiful Dubuque-built sternwheeler here in the Louisville area and take advantage of the facilities in this area to address some repairs to the vessel.
The original plan was to drop down river for this. I think rates here were the reasoning for this last minue change of plan.

Travis,
Capt. Baer must have had a change in plans(?). They told me on the radio that they were wintering the MAGNOLIA BELLE at Paducah...

Steve,
As a boat owner, you well know things change on the river. Gotta go where the best deal is nowdays to keep your head above water!

I'm glad that they are staying closer to this area for the winter. Would be interesting if they tramped between Louisville and Cincinnati next summer. I don't think the local Madison excursion market has been tapped much since the BONNIE BELLE left.
