The New Book by Captain Thomas N. Thomayer – Coming Soon
Get ready to embark on an unforgettable journey through the mud, might, and memories of a true river legend. Born to Be a Sloughpig is the raw and riveting life story of Captain Thomas N. Thomayer, a man shaped by the waters of the Columbia River, the Willamette River, and the Snake River. With a lifetime spent navigating the Pacific Northwest’s most powerful waterways, this is more than a memoir—it’s a testament to grit, family legacy, and life on the river.

From his family's roots in Tidewater Barge Lines to his years piloting massive vessels through some of the toughest currents in the country, Thomayer’s story flows with adventure, humor, and heart. Whether running cargo, facing storms, or homesteading deep in Hells Canyon, Captain Thomayer has lived the Sloughpig life to the fullest—and now he’s bringing readers aboard for the ride. Stay tuned. The river is calling.
