Shortly thereafter we’ll witness moonrise over the main channel of the Mississippi as it makes the turbulent escapade below Kangaroo Point. After supper, we’ll push off into the shimmering waters of the river, the darkness of the boils highlighted by shining whirl lines, boil lines, and moon reflections. By moonlight we’ll paddle around Old Town Bend, and then silently slip in between Is. 62 and 63. Sometime around midnight we’ll cut into the channel below Island 63 and meet our shuttle driver Ellis Coleman “Mr. Smooth Dancer” at Quapaw Landing.
