Welcome to INLAND CRUISING. This
website was
created to share cruising stories about the inland
waters of the United
States and other countries. Some offshore cruising will be included, and the logs of M/V
HAWKEYE II are a good example.
We plan no trips around
the world or across the oceans at this time.
The trip logs of M/V ILLUSIONS (the 1995 Carver 440
pictured to the left) are about more
numerous, shorter cruises from 1997 - 2002 beginning and/or ending in Houston, TX.
That is the boat we had when we started this website in June 2000.
In 2002 I added our cruises on the first ILLUSIONS
(the 1990 Carver 38' Aft Cabin pictured to the right) from 1992 - 1996.
Beginning in 2003, a new M/V ILLUSIONS (2002 Grand Harbour 57
Pilothouse, pictured at the top of this page) began cruising from its point of
purchase in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. I
did not want to put Roman numerals after the name, so I trust dividing
the cruises and boats up by years will be clear. Cruises on these
three boats cover 18 years so far. Click on CRUISES
to choose a boat and
read its cruise reports.
I value your comments and input, and
making new friends is one of my main goals in hosting this website.
You can send us an email at David@InlandCruising.com
or Angela@InlandCruising.com. We'll be very glad
to hear from you. Some have said they cannot see the Hoover
Buttons, so we're eliminating them. Enabling Java script on your
computer will solve that problem, I'm told. See our new
BOAT NAMES page, and send us some cute names
to add to it. Thanks!
We have been given permission to reproduce here
the logs of several other boaters who share a love of the inland waters
with us. I hope we will have more of these soon. Enjoy the
adventures of our friends on M/V MIMI; M/V NORDIC; M/V OUTBOUND;
M/V HAWKEYE; and others.
I hope you enjoy these
Cruise Reports. Included are
maps, logs, and color photographs of fascinating scenery from places not
too far away. Some of these
you can only see from the water. There
are many possible cruise destinations in and close to the USA, so check
out a few of these and go cruising yourself! We will have some Links here with information to help you have a
great trip. We also have references below to the rivers, lakes, and
bays we have traveled, so you can click on one you're interested in and
see our logs for that stream.

MOST RECENT TRIP page for details on the latest
cruise or portion of a cruise.
