Here is a picture of Pearl, now "Lillie", that our friends from Old Florida Riverboat Company sent me. The pic is on a twilight cruise at her new home in St Cloud, Florida. I have been hearing from a lot of Pearls old friends that they have visited her in St Cloud and she is enjoying her life in the Sunshine. 😃

When Pearl lived in Minnesota, she spent the winters all bundled up waiting for Spring to come so she could splash around on Lake Pepin again. Now that she lives in Florida, she operates all year long. She still wishes everyone "Happy Holidays!" 😀

Our fall color cruises were always a great way to end the season! 😃

In July of 2013 and July of 2016 we shared Lake Pepin with the Columbus replica ships, Nina and Pinta. One of the only times you could see an authentic paddlewheel boat and two Spanish caravel cargo vessels sailing together. :)

Memorial Day weekend was typically our first regularly scheduled Public sightseeing cruises of the year. A cruise on Lake Pepin was always a great way to start the Summer! 😀

We are SO happy to see our beloved Pearl has new stewards to care for her on her next stage. Hoping everyone from up here gets to take a cruise on her the next time you are in Florida! 😀

Here is a memory from April 26, 2014. Twin Sisters Marci and Michelle own a travel company called GirlTime Getaways and they would often book a cruise on the Pearl as part of a "getaway". They were always a VERY fun group and we enjoyed having them immensely! 😃

You never know what April will bring. Sometimes Lake Pepin is ice free before April 1 and sometimes it takes much longer. Here is a pic of April 17, 2018 when there was still ice on the Lake.

Our friend Karl Marvin caught this cool pic of Pearl and the ice flows surrounding her on Tuesday, April 17th. Thanks for sharing your handi-work Karl! :)
