For anyone who has ever fallen under the spell of the Mississippi,
it is hard not be a little jealous of Bob Deck. A deckhand as a
teenager and a Harbor Captain by the tender age of 22, Deck worked
the big river during the 1970's and 1980's, a boom time for the
Twin Cities barge business. Like Mark Twain and George Merrick
before him Deck paints a vivid and nostalgic portrait of a working
life on the river. And for budding river rats, he also provides
practical tips on how best to guide barges through certain tricky
stretches of water in St. Paul. -Mike Mosedale, reporter and river
lover Ride on the Mississippi River with Captain Bob and share in
his adventures as he navigates through floods, weather and curious
passengers aboard tugboats and sternwheelers at the head of
commercial navigation for the Western Rivers. Meet the pilots and
deckhands that make their lives and living on the Mighty
Mississippi. See the river through the eyes of a man who grew up on
riverboats.
