Hey Izzy, if yall decide to make that trip, let me know and we can meet, if you like and I 'll loan you some charts and pubs (as in marina locations for fuel, water, etc) plus tell you many things about the river that will keep you alive and well (where it's safe to anchor, radio channels for different parts of the river, hazardous areas, etc)
