Excursion Boats On The Tchhefuncte River
Captain Joe ,
First of all , I now live on the Tchefuncte River just south of the I-12 and witness all manner of river traffic passing by and I have often wondered why the North Shore in general has evidently been a tough place to market a river excursion boat . Futhermore , in my opinion you cannot find a more senic , accesible and user friendly river to navigat on . Especially now with the the post Katrina influx of people from the New Orleans area , and this being the fastest and more afluent growing parish in the state , why do you believe that it is so tough for a river excursion boat to survive ? I have often thought of " getting into the business " and have spoken a few times to the owner of the Cotton BLossom but for me at least it defies logic that an excursion boat evidently cannot survive in this location . Your thoughts would certainly be appreciated .
Smoothe Sailing !

Dear God, how many of you are there?? David, have you warned everyone? Don't forget to bring a kite for me! Mary
Mary, there are 12 "of us" that "we" are aware of. Power in numbers and all that...
Magnolia Bluffed
You'd think the same for Natchez, but Bluff City has always been a tough town for an excursion boat. With tourism the life blood of the community, who wouldn't believe a nice ride on a little paddlewheeler up to Magnolia Bluff and back to Silver Street would be the perfect compliment for the old house tours?
Personally, I thought a certain gamlin' boat would have filled that bill, and not until I sold everything back home, moved down South to Natchez, bought a house, a car, and a truckload of new furniture, over in Vidalia, did I realize that the GOLDEN LADY would never cruise beneath the loess bluff as I had planned.
