Chattanooga TN 11/7/2023
Well this has been a very full day. We got up early to fuel and pump out the boat. Then headed to Look Out Mountain for a ride up the Incline Railway! That was a short 10-minute ride right up to the top of the mountain for some great views. Yes I was able to…

It’s Been Too Long! 11/6/2023
I would like to apologize for the long period between posts, but we have been having a lot of fun and without good Wi-Fi! This post will cover almost a week of travel! Last time I posted we had just arrived at Joe Wheeler Park Marina. We spent one night there, and the area was…

Moving East 11/1/2023
We spent Halloween touring Florence AL and learning about the history of music production in the area and visited the birth home of Hellen Keller. Muscle Shoals is famous for music production back in the 1970’s and produced many number one songs. We thought we had pulled into the wrong place when we got dropped…

More TN River 10/30/2023
We ended our time at Aqua Yachts in Iuka with a visit from our great friends Mike and Kate. They drove over from Memphis, and we were able to spend most of Sunday together. We had a nice tour of Iuka and Mike’s childhood lake house, as well as Sunday Brunch at The Farm House…

All Rested And Ready To Go 10/22/2023
Good morning from Green Turtle Bay Resort and Marina. We have been here since Wednesday afternoon and have relaxed, cleaned the boat inside and out, and had some additional electronics works done. After adding all new electronics to the boat over the last two years, the system was not working properly. I spent some time…

Up The Ohio 10/17/2023
We waited to pull up the anchor until some of the fog burned off. We also called the Olmstead Lock Master and were told not to rush, as he had 7 large south bound barges to lock through ahead of us. We pulled up the anchor at 7:55am and were quickly out of the Miss…

Down The River We Go 10/16/2023
So a really long day today, 115 miles on the river. It was nice to have the river push us, but then we had to find a good spot to get the anchor to hold so we could sleep. Oh yeah, and a good spot to take Memphis ashore to do her business! We left…
