Hello - Hello

I spoke to Captain Ned at high noon Friday EST. He was currently passing Tunica, MS and was about 3 hours from Helena. The captain said he just scored some water from the "Tunica Queen", one of the gambling casino boats. He said he paddled right up next to it and asked for some water, in which they obliged.

I asked him where he camped Thursday night and he said "oh hell...I don't know...I was on the Mississippi in Mississippi. His goal was to make it 40 miles today, and that's when we started saying hello...hello can you hear me...and that was the extent of our conversation. We'll catch up with him ASAP and get back with you.

The pictures above are of the "HO-BO". If you recall from a previous blog, before the "Rainbow's End" came to be, she was known as the "HO-BO". And of course that's Capt. Ned in the first photo perched up on deck with his feet kicked up. Gee...I haven't seen that a time or two.

Just FYI...I created this post on Friday but had to run out and never had a chance to post until now. Also, there will be another post immediately following this one which will have pictures of the "HO-BO" when she was being morphed into the "Rainbow's End". The blog will only allow 5 photos at a time. Look for that in a moment.

The cell signal has been real...ummm...I'll use the word...crappy, but I do have some info from the travels of Captain Ned from over the weekend. I Plan to get this info to you later this afternoon. Please be patient, I'm busier then a one arm wall paper hanger. This darn work thing keeps getting in the way of fun. Stay tuned in though, I will be back ASAP...with some really good action shots of Captain Ned on the Mississippi.
