Another school year has come to a close which means its boat time again. (whoo whoo) I have to say, it’s very difficult to sit in Kentucky, throughout the winter, watch the snow fall and wonder how our boat is faring in the gulf. Even more difficult when you know the weather is bad in Texas too. We don’t want to test that old myth “third times’ the charm” so with 2 hurricanes under our belts we’ve decided to move Refugio upstream away from the gulf and closer to home this summer; do a little work on her and check out the local waters. This is our float plan this summer from Palacios, Texas to Cincinnati, Ohio (double click on the map to see it larger). Come along as we anticipate traveling approximately 1600 miles, navigating 22 locks/dams and engaging the ever present tugs and barges - - - and of course, cows.
