All: 

Unless the weather and/or mechanical alter the events, this will be the travel schedule of the Razorback/Murat Reis: 

 She will arrive during the day in Key West on Sunday, June 13th (am or pm as she gets a little closer).  She will depart Key West after dark on June 14th for a 3.5 day trip to NO.  She will arrive NO on June 18th (Friday) or early on June 19th (Saturday). She is to arrive early enough to be set up for a ceremony where she will be docking by around 12:00 noon on the 19th.  She then will have some work done to her to prepare her for the upriver portion of her trip and presently her only scheduled stop will be to be a part of the dedication of the last Lock and Dam on the Arkansas River at Montgomery Point on Friday, July 16th.  She will arrive to be a part of this dedication on Thursday, July 15th.  Finally, she will depart the Montgomery Point Dedication in time to arrive in North Little Rock for her arrival ceremony planned to begin in the late afternoon on Sunday, July 18th.  This will take place in North Little Rock’s Riverfront Park where the Delta Queen has docked in the past.  Further details will be shared as they become final.  Also, as the river part of the trip is still in the formative stages, other stop(s) may take place.  However, the dates stated are firm.  If anyone needs clarification, please feel free to contact us.
