I mentioned in the Hontoon Island get together post I was planning a cruise down the Tennessee River and back up the Cumberland River in April. I am on track to get started this Saturday at Knoxville, TN. I plan on taking about 30 days to get to the Roaring River boat ramp near Gainesboro, TN. I...

I just want to thank everyone especially Joyce and Tom for the great time I had at the Hontoon Island get together and cruising the St Johns River with everyone. I pulled out of Ed Stone Park just before 11 this morning right behind Midnight Flyer. I arrived home at Lake Keowee in SC at 9:30pm...

Nine of us are stopped for the afternoon at the Sanford public dock. Midnight Flyer, Mighty Wench, Mystery Girl, Tully-B, Calm C, Cat O Mine, Two Bears, Wee Bit and C-Otter. After taking in the sights of Sanford we will head down to Woodruff Creek to anchor for the night. Up in the 70’s today...

Loree and Jim, This is my first trip on the St John's but I would say the water level is up. I think the bridge at Ed Stone was showing about 15 feet of clerance. There are eight boats here now. C-Otter, Crystal Sea, Wee Bit, Blue Days, Lake Effect, Two Bears, Thisaway and Mystery Girl. Six of...

I arrived at Ed Stone Boat Ramp a little after 7 tonight. It took about 12 hours to get here. I didn't push it and stayed in the right lane pretty much all the way with quite a few stops to stretch my legs. I will spend the night in the parking lot here. There is only one other truck and trailer...

Thanks Tom and Bob, I will use the roads you have listed to get to Ed Stone. When I return to South Carolina I may take Interstate 95 just to see a different part of Florida and Georgia. Bill

I will be coming south on Interstate 75 and I am wondering what is the best highway to take over to Ed Stone Boat Ramp. I plan on leaving Wednesday and will launch my boat on Thursday morning. Bill

Wayne, Thanks for all the canal tips. I am thinking of doing the Erie Canal at some point this summer. More then likely I will being doing it by myself. I am a little confused on how you get the bow line to the cockpit after you reach out the helm window and slip it behind the hanging lock...

Things are not looking that great for any increase in the water level in Lake Powell this summer with the snow pack in the mountains so far this winter. http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireSt ... s-52914491

Chuck, Glad to hear Penny is recovering from her surgery and is doing well enough to do some traveling and cruising again. It would be great to see you two again. I didn't switch to a diesel. What helped with my decision to switch to the Ranger brand was being able to stick with an outboard...

Tom, I am a previous C-Dory 22 owner, still a C-Brat. I had my 22 from 2007 to early 2017. I attended quite a few CBGT at Lake Powell and a couple at Yellowstone Lake when I lived in Colorado. I know live in South Carolina and now have a Ranger Tug R-23, I drove out and picked up in Seattle...

Thanks for the pics Jody. really wish I could have made it this year. Who knows, maybe next year. Bill
