Pensacola FL (actually just a couple of miles west of there, at Elberta, AL) to Knoxville TN, by river.
July 2024. 890 miles. 20 locks. By boat. Seven days! That is hauling a**, no matter how you look at it. I knew I wanted to try owning…

Sad news today...
We lost Zoey on the 4th of July. She has gone to Fiddlers Green, home of lost sailors. She had a stroke on Tuesday and was gone on Thursday. The boat is going to seem really empty for a long time. Zoey loved traveling on…

So, why am I on this adventure? I’d love to say that living most of my life in Michigan surrounded by water inspired an undeniable dream to sail or that canoeing halfway across that state with 19 other eleven year old Girl Scouts left me…

July 6th we head for the boat in a rental car. If all is well at the boat, currently located near Pensacola, just on the Alabama side of the bay, we'll be bound for Knoxville up the river. We'll be taking this route, Mobile to the Tombigbee…
I’m Zoey. I know Butch has second thoughts about a dog on a boat. But…I’m HERE!! I’ve lived with my mom, Cheryl, for almost twelve years so, we’re a package deal.
I love traveling and don’t care if I’m in an RV or a boat.…

When Butch and I first met, I had literally 100 questions for him. He humored me by answering each and every one, but then had me do the same. The easiest for me to answer was- “I have the best… “ FRIENDS! was my immediate response. And…
