yacht club members. who. for

ms ending there. They said 30
many had given up there that they
hlst sort o. toek Il for granted
the town was the end Of aimost
every down-river trip.
TIE members Of this yacht club
really take care Of their boats.
Out Of all that were moored close
~. only two were oalsids where
the weather could get Al them.
mass llvtag Quarters
II seems that whenever q man
buys . boat he immediately builds
. boat house 70 fit II and keeps
the boat In there. For . nominal
sum the yacht club moore Il in
their basin and keeps an eye on
H. Even boats up TO IS feet were
housed IN complete floating shell

Some az these lighthouses were
more than just boat shelters.
Those that housed the small cabin
cruisers all had . comfortably
furnished living room at one end.
while . few had fun second stories
rugged up for living quarters.
| IL was ~ this yacht club. too.
that We saw our first real boat
houses. Not just big shsnty boats.
but regular residences built on a
barge huh. One Of them was two
stories high and quite sumptuous.
All Secured
All the boat houses moored in
the basin are secured together by
} series Of cables, and when a
bad wind blows. Il Il an unwritten
rule that all the members who can
must Be On hand to see that things
remain secure.
/ Many Of them seem to Be either
living In their boat houses. or. at
) least. spending most Of their time
In them.
i II was by far the best place
We had had to tie up anywhere
: on either the Missouri or the Mis-
/ sissippi rivers. and. Incidentally,
the first real friendly southern
town.
