Down the Rivers on a Chainsaw B J Gillum

BJ Gillum and his wife Saundra purchased a 25 foot Bayliner Sierrra 2556 in Millsboro, Pennsylvania in 1994 and christened it the Saundra Kay. They cruised it down the Monongahela, Ohio, Cumberland and Tennessee rivers to Rockwood Tennessee, where they planned to build their home in the near future. They later took a pleasure cruise to Chattanooga, Tennessee and back, as a warm up for a major, month-long cruise to New Orleans and back. Captain Gillum kept meticulous logs of their adventures, and has compiled them into this entertaining, no-punches-pulled tale. The trips involved interesting characters, mishaps, and misadventures as they navigated through uncertain waters, stormy weather, and tricky lock systems along major waterways.
