Well you won't have me to worry about smartin' off here for a few days. We have 3, 55' houseboats waiting for us to leave on Thursday PM. It will a group of 27 people, all relatives. One boat has a HOT TUB which should make for some exciting nights beached along the Mississippi. I will Capt. one of the three and hopefully will find time to check on the beverages making sure they are staying cold! This is a first for some of us and some have been on them before. From what I understand we will have 2 locks to navigate. Not to mention keeping out of the way of barges. I'll try and check back Sunday PM when we get home.
