Mississippi in St. Paul
« on: July 07, 2019, 08:59:47 PM »
Since someone asked. The Mississippi in St. Paul seemed about 3’ above normal. Current pretty strong. Debris was not too bad. This was pretty much the only beach we could find from Newport to the Ford dam. Otherwise great day on the water. If you look close at this picture you can see the flood water level on the trees and sign.

For some reason the water going through down down was very squirrelly with high waves. Buried the bow on the 23 a few times.

Someone found the pirate ship!  Not certain if we will go up through Ford this year, if we do, I'd suspect we'll leave TI early.

Always seems to be strong current and eddy's in that area.
Sounds like someone got wet … LOL
