I talked to Floyd (Far C’r) about the number of boats we would like on this Nashville Cruise. We both liked having about 5 boats (what we had on the Snake and Columbia Rivers). This is because we can move along and make progress, but we still have enough help from each other to get things done...

I meant to above say focus on just the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers! Dr. Bob thank you for the chart references. I am going to order from him one book the Cumberland and one book on the Tennessee. Excellent.

Dr. Bob, Lew Cat Claw, and Colby, that would be great if you could go. Thanks for the Mississippi River gathering invite. For me, I will have to pass on it. There is 6 days of driving for me on the way out from California. We are going to use all the time we have budgeted just to get to...

After our successful 2017 Lewis & Clark Snake and Columbia Rivers Cruise, I was interviewing videographer Floyd (C-Dory Far C’R) about ideas for another potential expedition cruise. Floyd mentioned that he and his wife Eiko set off on a planned journey to the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers a...

Floyd. This video of our Lewis & Clark Expedition Cruise was off the top! Your photos and videos were spectacular. How you captured the various available light was poetic. I saw things on this video that I never even saw on the trip! Thank you for all your work on this endeavor. There is...

Mike. Nice job on the crab. You really have it figured out. We greatly appreciated the ten crab that you gave our C-Dory group. We all enjoyed the treat! You also have a great girlfriend. Jim & Kath on M/V Pounder

Floyd Your slide show is very good. The pictures really show how vast and vacant the landscape was. You have a good camera lens.

Below is summarized a day by day itinerary for the Snake River/Columbia River Cruise. Some key takeaways. Plan on at least 9 water days of which 2 could be contingency wind days. The weather changes fast out there on the immense bodies of water, and wind will slow one down. It would be difficult...

Kath and I just pulled into the driveway. We are happy to be home safe and sound. The trip for us was 2,100 land miles and 495 water miles, 18 days all total - through a vast and vacant landscape. We slept on our boat last night at an RV park near Lake Shasta as they shut down Interstate 5 in...

Chuck and Penny. So sorry you now cannot go. We were looking forward to meeting you both. Best of success on the surgery. We will be thinking about you both on our trip. Maybe we will get this expedition cruise figured out and you will be able to go next year with better information from our...

Kath and I will start driving from Sacramento on Saturday, October 14th. We plan to spend a night in Nevada and a night in Oregon on the way out. We will arrive in Lewiston Monday night, October 16th. We will be staying at hotels on the way out, including Monday night in Lewiston. Tuesday...

Thanks Chuck and Penny for the good information and kind offerings. I agree, we will launch from the Hells Gate State Park, and those that want to can leave their truck and trailer rigs there. Your chase rig is a windfall benefit. Please sign up my crew Kathy as a designated day driver for...

Thanks Floyd for the fire link. I just watched national news about the forest fire near the Oregon town of Cascade Locks in the Columbia River George area near Bonneville Lock. We will just have to wait and see how this all evolves over the next few weeks. Our trip is over a month away and...

Colby Good call on your decision. It is likely that there will not be a group expedition C-Dory cruise such as this on the Snake/Columbia Rivers for some time. As you and I were both widowers and then rebounded, we know how short life is and the need to sieze opportunity now!

TyBoo Now that you have re powered why don't you join us on our Lewis & Clark Expedition Cruise? This trip would be a great low speed 100 hour breakin for your new big engine.
