The punt is on the trailer, food and gear are packed for a Friday departure to Lynchburg, VA. Saturday I cast off with 18 replicas of 18th century tobacco/cargo batteaux and many other small craft. Charts have been studied, hazards and conditions noted in preparation of a journey lasting eight...

After the initial trials with my punt, a plan was hatched to take a trek on Ebeneezer Creek near Savannah. After the rain the last two weeks, the creeks and rivers were flowing too hard for a trip that would be more testing of the boat's handling. One of the fellows said the Ogeechee river was...
