 very useful March 23, 2006

Although I do not have a boat, I saw this book at a library and it has what I would consider very useful information, such as maps, distances, channels and phone numbers for bridge tenders, where to dock your boat, what's available when you dock, amount of turbulence in the locks, height of bridges in the up and down positions, and a whole lot more. It is written as a downstream narrative.

Rick Rhodes' book takes you on a cruise of the great rivers with all of the vital information needed to transit them safely. He provides marina names and facts about their facilities that you need on a trip of this nature. We will have it on our chart table when we go for our river trip.

My husband & I wanted to run the IL. river from Grafton to Liverpool in our boat. So we bought this book. Before we received it, we put our boat in at Liverpool, mile 128 & went down to mile 97.5 Brownsville. The book doesn't mention anything about the Marina in Havana where you can get gas & eat. It doesn't mention Bath at all where they have a bar on the river & you can get food & drinks. It says you can get gas in Brownsville, but you can't! They have food & thats it! Those are enough mistakes for us to decide to send the book back. It cannot be reliable. Unless you want to get stuck out on the river without gas, I would not buy this book!
