Will you be passing Cincy?

Hello Roaming Roamer

Will you be passing by Cincy on your trip? You're already in the upper pool and I hope I didn't miss you. Here in the Cincinnati pool, there aren't too many roamers.

Beauty contest judges,..

...,all know: the true biggies hang a bit lower.
Gravity, of course, wielding the final vote: steelies are heavier - ride "slightly" lower in the water; and were actually constructed with 2 more inches of draft (http://www.geocities.com/alloyed2sea..._Regal_38.html); and the tin men were also built with a few more inches of freeboard up top (http://www.geocities.com/alloyed2sea/Riviera_37.html .
Go figure!
Cheers,
Eric

Back in Pittsburgh as to "Howz the rest of the voyage going?"

Well, we pulled into our berth in Pittsburgh at 10:30 PM last Thursday, August 31. To tell you the truth, we spied a few Roamers here and there, such as the "Jamie II" in Mackinac City Marina, the one at the private dock on the Ohio, and a few others plus some very sharp late 60s Commanders, even went through a very well kept Conquerer from the 50s. The trip took 24 days averaging 10.5 mph and 100 miles per day. With over 6000 photos to examine and 2 hours of video, it's going to take some time to find all the Chris' Craft that we snapped. I regret that we missed contact, Roamertim, although we got some nice shots on your pool. I am going to attach a short synopsis from the rivers part.
