Something I cannot explain in this video happens at around the 5:30 mark. A UFO if you will. You tell me what it is. I do not have the video sped up at that point. A small white dot appears when in full screen about an inch on the screen below the ferry @ 5:31 and shoots up into the sky at an amazing speed. No other drones were around or fly that fast nor do birds fly like that. Has me dumbfounded. I guess it could be a bird but I've never seen anything like that and I have seen a lot lol. Hope you enjoy the video see the Ralph E Plagge pass the A Steve Crowley as they head northbound up the Illinois River and meet the Merrick Jones headed southbound. I enjoyed chasing the fishing boat and I could have passed them lol. Thanks for watching!! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fpvZ4pHtVw
A rare sight for me is the Mary Lynn passing the St. Charles Missouri riverfront. In fact I have never seen it before. I know they do pass there from time to time it's just so infrequent that I have never been down by the river in St Charles and saw any boat pass except a dredge possibly. She is also one great looking and unique boats out there. More hazy sky too from fires out west. The music is Sanctify by St. Paul & the Broken Bones off the album Sea of Noise

Beautiful cool calm summer morning has the fog rolling in and out in the river bottoms. This audio is from my cellphone recording on shore near mp231. I really hope you enjoy!

Sorry about the short video but this boat was moving right along and I had only a few minutes with her! I think he could have pulled a skier. Caught this at mile marker 232 cruising up the Mississippi and I did not see any passengers. The America is American Cruise Lines’ eighth ship and its second brand-new vessel to launch in 2016.

Just after coming down the Illinois river the Walter L. Gibbs is passing by Elsah Illinois. The crew is taking advantage of the nice weather to get some chores done on top of the vessel. Thanks for watching and please subscribe!

I know that I have done this boat before but I couldn't resist her as she was headed northbound and sounding good. The audio is from this boat as recorded from shore. And while in the area I thought you might enjoy a view of Fort de Chartres State Historic Site and the link for further information.
