Chapter 15 discusses California, which is bordered by the Pacific Ocean. Louisville may not be bordered by an ocean, but it is bordered by the Ohio River. There are also several lakes nearby the city, with Taylorsville lake being the closest at only 41 miles away. Many people enjoy sailing, fishing and boating in the Ohio River. Many restaurants in Louisville and just across the river in southern Indiana offer waterfront docks where boats can easily tie off and stop in for a meal. There are also several steamboats docked right on the river in downtown that offer day and nighttime cruises. Two of the well known steamboats are the Belle of Louisville and the Star. These two steamboats race before the Kentucky Derby in what is called "The Great Steamboat Race."
