Thank you so much Sandy Hausman and WVTF Music and RADIO IQ for the wonderful piece on our business and the James River Batteau Festival!

River cruises are popular around the world. But for two Virginia men they are also a chance to honor a forgotten part of the Commonwealth’s history— to recall how one boat changed the fate of the state.

With all the high water and flooding affecting the James last week it’s nice to have our batteaux in a safe harbor.

It’s hard to imagine with the snow that we’ll be back on the water in 6 short weeks!
