BRANSON, MO -- 700 passengers aboard the Showboat Branson Belle were detained on the boat for more than four hours Saturday night after the boats engines lost power on Table Rock Lake. Strong winds and waves blew the boat on to a rocky point about a half mile from the boats dock. At 11 p.m Saturday, passenger Jenae Dorman reported they were not moving and were being given chicken sandwiches and macaroni and cheese.  She also said passengers were using table clothes as blankets because it was so cold. The above photo was sent to us by a passenger aboard the boat.
