What’s New This Week
Clear Paths Through Inland Rivers
We’ve added 600+ official U.S. Army Corps of Engineers RECTRKs, also known as “sailing lines” to Argo. You’ll see these as solid magenta lines on your map.
These are especially helpful on inland rivers, where channels can shift and the best path isn’t always obvious.
With sailing lines, you can:
- Follow the intended navigable path through the channel
- Stay in deeper, maintained water
- Reduce guesswork in tight or changing areas

Meet Trip Smith, Captain and On-Water Adventurer
Most of what you learn boating doesn’t come from a manual, it comes from doing it.
Trip Smith has built his name on exactly that. Real trips, real decisions, and sharing what he’s learned along the way.
Join us live May 14 at 7pm ET to hear how he approaches planning, navigation, and making the most of every trip
