More than a few frenzied couples every year will find their own privacy amidst the ruckus of a jam-packed boat, sating their desire in the most creative of ways. Sometimes the river serves only as an appetizer for what will come later, an aperitif to the main course. Simply put, there is energy and enough sexual tension to bottle and sell. Yet not every turn of the river is so lurid and hypersexed. In Old Sac, it is easy to find more quiet digs, a place where you might actually be able to have a conversation with someone of the opposite sex.
Boats come and go, their own lights shining like beacons as they glide past the shore.
Someone not inspired by this scene should really check for a pulse. Occasionally you might need to get imaginative about your spots. One of my all-time fondest memories is of hopping over a railing onto the deck of the Delta King with a gorgeous friend so we could have someplace quiet to talk while enjoying the beauty of the river. Hours later, we were still there, the lapping of the water against the hull providing the perfect backdrop to one of the most romantic nights of my life. Sometimes, we need to just get away from the city, but not from the power of the rivers.
