Both agreed that the flood season had passed, and t…

The goofy 200 miles August 9-13, 2013
More summer fun
The Rose is meant to be enjoyed and again this year we have found time to enjoy the best RI and Narragansett Bay have to offer. Between family and friends we are quick to leave the dock and explore the inlets and islands that make up the area. Here are…

Huntsville, AL to the Mississippi River July 30-Aug. 6, 2013
We left Huntsville at 9:25
a.m. on Tuesday, July 30. There is
