Lloyds-- good question, in researching my old Waterway Facilities Guide, I found that most of the newer or re-built marinas along the ICW do have pump out facilities or at least a Honey Barge, while the older marinas are lacking in this area. I know years ago Naples, Fl. ( Old Naples Seaport)...

Hi lloyds---- how was your last trip? I bit the bullet (around $99) and bought the smallest size Icey-tek for my 16', not just for cooling purposes, but also for use as an interior step and also an extra seat, this has proven very helpful when climbing in and out at various style docks, also...

Hi Patrick----I don't know the answer, but I think we have enough STUFF being discharged into the intercoastal on a daily bases. I have lived on the intercoastal since 1975, I had actually spent time along the Gulf coast area before there was an intercoastal on that side. I have had homes on...

Wow--- looks like I just got out of Vermont in time. It was basically ok. driving weather a couple of weeks ago, until I got to Fredricksburg, Va.----Rich

Hello everyone---Sorry to say but, it looks like we will not be able to make the gathering, my boat is in Fredricksburg, Va. by way of Lake Champlain, Lake Geo., and (twice) to the eastern shore this year, and I'm in Calif. until the 1st part of Nov. on business matters. I will be on the...

Chad-- just got back and saw your post, probably did sell a little too cheap, but, then again you never know.Did you have a lot of response? I was in the Lake Champlain (VT.) and lake Geo.(N.Y.) areas, left the boat and Motorhome in Va. for a later trip to Fla. in late Fall. Rich

Chad-- my son just flew in from Cape Girardeau, Mo. (Trail of Tears area), he said the river is not real low in that area, but they have had a lot of rain. If you make it as far as Burlington,Iowa, I have some friends in the area that would be happy to assist you if you need any help.---Rich

Mark--- There is another good book out that may still be in print regarding a family that went down the Mississippi from Minn. to Fla., etc. in an older fiberglass houseboat, I think around the 1950's or 1960's. As soon as I can check my library I'll get you the information. -------- Rich

Chad--- I have a friend who is looking, I'lll be talking to him around the 1st part of Oct. When he gets back in the USA. Thanks Rich

Hi Chad-- seems like a good price, I wouldn't take that for mine, what is the over all condition. Motor hrs., Gel-coat, etc. If it is in good shape it shouldn't last long. Good Luck Rich

Hi-- Mark-- Two books that you may or may not have read regarding the Mississippi River and can be useful to your cruise are: Old Glory by Jonathan Raban published 1981 and Old Man River And Me by Mark Knudsen published 1998. If you can't find these, let me know and I will try and fax you...

Hi Rick from Maine----- I assume you are talking about the restaurant on Fall St. that we all ate at last year. I have receipts for the following: Varsity--74 Fall St. 315-568-4131 Avicolli's--- 170 Fall St. 315-568-2233 Lin's Kitchen---71 Fall St. 315-568-0105 (this was possibly the one)...

Hi--Jim & Joan---To make you feel better! All my experience with the factory and dealers over the past three years has been absolutely & totally positive, response time usually in two days or less.(E-Mails, phone calls, or shipping). Remember this is their busiest time of the year and everyone...

After trailering & cruising my 16' cruiser to and thru aprox. 40 states in the past three years, I realized that I probably wouldn't have done nearly as much if I had a bigger boat. The easy trailering, unloading, loading and storing is hard to beat. Not to mention the economic aspects. An old...

Hi Gary-- Geat job on locating that picture, can you possibly do the same procedure for the one located in the 07/12/06 album? -----Thanks--Rich

Hi guys--- I never saw that picture of my boat before, on close inspection, I realized it had to have been taken during the 1st Chesapeake gathering, the better one is from this year's gathering, the picture shows a close up of the boat, with a full green bimini top (thanks to some help from Pat...

Brandon--- I just ran across some new pictures of the recent Chesapeake Gathering and under the photo section for Lankford Collection is a good picture of my boat (Don Quixote) showing the down-rigger mounts. with max. enlargement you should be able to get a pretty good idea of the exact...

Hi Byrdman--- I'm assuming that this gathering is going to be in the Eastpoint area, either on the river or the inter-coastal side instead of the town of Apalachicola. But, even though it is across the river, the Apalachicola City Marina use to have guest dockage with a ramp, parking...

Roger--- Regarding the Robert Morris Inn--- what did you expect from a bed that George Washington slept on? Rich

Thanks Byrdman--- when I went to sign up, the sheet was under non-members( now has been changed), so I didn't proceed. I didn't want to be hanging out with a bunch of Bayliners, unless of course they have A/C----Rich
