From time to time we will use this page for copies of cruising adventures of others for those who have to get such pleasure vicariously.  For now we ran across a future planned trip where the writer reminded us that the Eastern half of the nation is one giant island and that going around that island is a 6,000 mile trip that he is gong ho on making.  He plans to take two years to make all his plans and do all his necessary boat outfitting.

Of interest to us and possibly to you, is that the boat he has chosen for this grand excursion through the Great Lakes, the Mississippi, the Gulf of Mexico and the ICW and ocean areas of the Atlantic, is the Rhodes 22.
