Olympic Moment
Want that Olympic moment? Buy a kayak rig. Maybe consider adding a face mask to the helmet. Don’t forget the nose clip for the inevitable rolls under water. Practice and then go up to the upper Ocoee River to the Olympice whitewater course from the ’96 Olympics. On Saturday morning they open a valve at […]
Chillicothe, Illinois
Chillicothe, Illinois We loved the cool and lingering clouds from ISAAC for the 65 miles on the Illinois River. We are now at mile marker 178, and that means we have 178 miles to the Mississippi River. We passed many campers along the river: families fishing, playing in the river, and water skiing. Passing huge […]

Settling In
We arrived back on the boat a week ago. I came down with a cold the day before we left and we debated waiting. Jeff decided he could drive the whole way while I slept in the car. We stopped at our usual Red Roof Inn and met the “one well-behaved dog re…
A rare sight
I love old boats, especially old wooden boats. Truly a rarity now days, to see an original superbly preserved, so when the owner of this beauty asked if they could raft to us long enough for a stroll into town yesterday, I was happy to oblige. After all, how else could I get closer for a personal … Continue reading »
