"Welcome to All River Lovers"
Here we hope your dreams of Voyaging can come closer to reality. I believe the inland waters of America are an underutilized source of Peace and Tranquility for all of us. During the week, one can travel twenty miles on most rivers without seeing another human being. At hull speeds, animals are not startled as you pass, banks are not washed away in your wake, the driftwood just ahead can be avoided, lower horsepower is required, and gas consumption is nill and affordable. The busy pace of your life gently slips away and is replaced with a serenity that mystifys.A succesful journey of more than a weekend, whether in a kayak or a yacht, requires knowledge and careful planning. It has been said that the planning can be as rewarding as the trip. The payoff is much greater than you think. Each successful trip brings a lifetime of good memories; of places, events, and new friends you've met. Enjoy.

Voyaging
as I glide along,
the parting water
singing its song
The porpoise jumps,
the otter plays,
This is how
I spend my days
New sights and sounds
round each river bend,
the beauty of nature
Man's soul does mend
Rivers are mystical and spiritual places that bring us closer to our universal creator, God.
One cannot journey alone on the waters without feeling his presence, inhaling his essence, and slowly being filled with knowledge and truth.
From the mussels in the rivers bed, to the stars over your head, beauty and goodness find you there.
If ever there was a true and pure love, it manifests itself in your surroundings.
Thank you Lord, for the gift of rivers.
