Maureen and I drove up to the Con Trios Labor Day Party at Two Rivers so on our ride home we stopped at Clarksville Lock & Dam 24 and as luck would have it saw a lot of our group approaching the locks. Got to chatting with a lovely couple there who have been driving the 70 miles from Barrow Illinois every Labor Day for over 27 years just to watch all the pleasure boats locking through after the holiday weekend. Here's a pic of Carole and Russell with their binoculars at the ready! Didn't know we had such loyal fans.

Sad News to Report:
Con Trios Yacht Club member Robert "Bob" Rogliardi passed away at home after a short illness. Bob was an avid fisherman at their place at the Lake of the Ozarks and lots of bass tournaments. For several years they had a pontoon boat at Yacht Club of St. Louis affectionately called the "River Pig". Bob was always fun to be around and will be greatly missed. Janet said all the kids were there with him the day before.

Important message from your Immediate Past Commodore, Alan D.

CTYC Members and friends.........
Re: Past Commodores Party / May 11th, 2013.

Sorry to say!
Past Commodores Party is postponed........

As of this morning (May 5th, 2013) the amended river levels are going back up 3 feet in the next 3 or 4 days. Puts it above the key pad at the front gate of DCYC. Also the long term forecast shows next Saturday to be rainy and a high of 59 degrees.

I drove around Polestar, Lake Center and YCSL this morning.
Not good anywhere. Polestar Fuel Dock side was almost a possibility.
Parking at Polestar difficult with all the boats and extra trailers etc. there.

For the best interest of CTYC, our members and friends......
The May 11th, Past Commodores Party is postponed.

Lets plan on sometime in the Fall..........

All checks will be mailed back to the issuer.
Electronic payments will be as you

Our October Board Meeting will be Saturday October 12th @ 3:00 pm (before the membership party) at Steve Huebner's place at Eagles Landing. I expect it to be a quick meeting but we do need to have a quorum so please plan to attend if you can. Our secretary Judi and her team will be counting the ballots and we will be introducing our new Board for 2014. After the meeting it sounds like our Fleet Captain Greg and his First Mate Peggy have another fun party planned for us all. If anyone needs directions or has any questions please do not hesitate to contact myself or your Fleet Captain Greg Colletta.
I look forward to seeing everyone Saturday and welcoming our 2014 Board of Directors.

Just a heads up for anyone wanting to participate in the Blessing of the Fleet.
The 57th Annual Blessing of the Fleet scheduled for Saturday July 19th may be at risk of being postponed. River level projections now call for Grafton to go to 25.9 feet about July 11th before falling slowly. Critical levels at Portage des Sioux are in the 21 to 21.5 foot range. I will be posting updates both on the Blessing website at www.blessingofthefleetstl.com and facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/BlessingoftheFleetSTL
If you want a simple page to bookmark to keep an eye on the levels I have one at http://www.riverwebcams.com/river.html that shows current radar, weather and river gauge graphs.

Blessing of the Fleet is being postponed indefinitely.
Due to the flooding currently going on it has become necessary to postpone the Blessing of the Fleet. Once the level on the Grafton gauge drops below 21 feet we will need at least a week to allow for cleanup of the Shrine of Our Lady of the Rivers site, local roads and businesses.
Currently Palisades Yacht Club is closed and Longshot Saloon / My River Home is using the rear entrance off of LeClaire Street, the LaRosa Cabana Bar is closed. Current projections show about 22.7 on July 19th, the original date. Check the Blessing website at www.blessingofthefleetstl.com and www.riverbills.com for updates. Here is a link to the Mississippi River at Grafton gauge for reference.

Not a whole lot going on boating wise right now so with the holidays coming up maybe a couple of feel good stories are in order. Con Trios Yacht Club Past Commodore Gary Meinershagen sent in the following email.

I called Chris at Walters and he said "Here is our Post Office account number, take the rings to the post office and have them send the rings to me". In less than a week the rings were returned to my front door here in Florida, fixed. NO charge! Now that's customer service.
Walters Jewelers have donated gifts to CTYC for years, and I am sure every Past Commodore can attest to that, I do not have eno
