It is also the end, or the beginning, of the USA's 25,000 mile inland waterway system, via the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway.
That is one of the most important assets we have here. Amoung many other benefits, our intracoastal waterway helps keep the price of gasoline at one of the lowest levels in the country.
This event was cancelled......
