Our Nation's Inland Rivers and
Intracoastal Waterway Systems links
places you could never imagine
possible, with places most Americans
have never seen. Yes, you can boat
right to (and in some cases 'through')
many small towns and villages, as well
as major cities most would think are
unreachable by boat.
Living aboard offers you the ability to
voyage rivers and waterways to such
places as Mobile, New Orleans, Baton
Rouge, Galveston, Corpus Christi,
| More or less centered around America's Great Loop, you will find that the inland rivers are the Water World of America's heartland. And you can boat them all. . . By the time you have finished seeing it all, you will have boated about the same distance of sailors circumnavigating the globe. Yet you will have never left the comforts and safety of the USA. You will have always been in sight of land, and had the use of your cell phone and wireless Internet connection about 95% of the time. In the end, you will have cruised to hundreds of cities, small towns and villages in 26 states. |
You have the ability to learn about all the
individual navigable rivers America's Heartland
has to offer.

We tell you how many miles it is from one city to
the next, one fuel stop to the next, and one great
eating establishment to the next. We will also
tell you about the Marinas that can help you
keep a balance on your Debit Visa, and about

limits of your American Express Card.
