Wifi is so slow here I am just going to narrate the last day or so and add photos when we have better service. We went down to the start of the Tenn-Tom yesterday and got a look at channel width etc.. We also found the nice little cove and waterfall at 217.2 left descending bank - beautiful quiet little spot - must be well known because many boats were coming in to check it out. We met the Aqua Yacht harbor host - very friendly. Shortly thereafter I called Demopolis on my weekly squeaky wheel update to see when we may get a spot and they have one! We have some items to care for and pick up others needed for our lay-up so we are heading home tomorrow for a week or so. After much ado we got a one way rental out of Memphis and will roll North in the morning. Enjoy every day - each one is a gift from God!
We headed toward Nashville up the Cumberland River but no marina in Nashville so it looks like we will stay at Lake Barkley State Park for a few days and maybe do some fishing. Looking back at the Green Turtle Bay marina and the Yacht Clubhouse on the stilts. We were near the far end of that dock - almost every boat is a "Looper" boat. More of the expansive Green Turtle Bay marina. Lake Barkley formed after they dammed the Cumberland River so the contours and islands and bars are everywhere. Old castle looking building - I thought the marina guy said it was a low security prison. Without a good chart plotter and staying alert to follow the channel we would be running aground frequently. We could see the channel because for some reason the wind didn't affect the surface water over the old river bed. We are next to a very large houseboat.
