An avid traveler and sailor, Captain Rick Rhodes has always had a taste for
adventure. After his freshman year of college, he hiked a large part of the
Appalachian trail, and by the age of twenty-two, he had already traveled to
forty-eight states, primarily by motorcycle. After college, he found a job with
the government and lived aboard a thirty-three-foot sailboat and a
twenty-eight-foot powerboat in the Potomac River. He also was able to take two
six-month sabbaticals, in which he sailed to Central America.
Later, he joined the Peace Corps and spent time in Ecuador. After this short
term, he decided to look to the sea and rivers for his next adventure. He used
his vast knowledge of travel and cruising, as well as further research on
specific areas, such as the Great Loop, to create a cruising guide.
He has written several cruising guidebooks, including Cruising Guide
from Lake Michigan to Kentucky Lake: The Heartland Rivers Route and Cruising Guide to Florida's Big Bend, both
available from Pelican.
Captain Rick Rhodes currently lives in St. Petersburg, Florida, where he
continues to enjoy traveling and boating. He is a proud member of the Chesapeake
Bay Professional Captain's Association.
