Here’s the pile of resources we’ve gathered to plan our trip. Everything from navigation charts to folksy books about what to see and do along the way. The rivers portion of our journey will be something entirely new for us. The item in the photo that looks like a thermometer is actually a device that allows you to measure distances along a meandering route — and there’s plenty of that ahead of us. I’m also scouring cookbooks with ideas on how to provision and recipes that will be easy to accomplish on board with limited cooking paraphenalia. This stack should keep us pretty occupied for the next several months I think!
