Day one.

Saying good by to BlackJack Cove Marina and to many friends we made while docked here.

Old Hickory Lock, the first of 15. 

Our first night.  We made Nashville and experienced the Nashville tourist spots, had dinner, watched the sunset and went to bed.

Cona masters the helm.

We stopped in Clarksville the second night.  Docked at the city dock, and rocked all night due to the barge traffic.

Third night was at Greenturtle Bay and had the two inch pork chops at Pattie's.

First tour stop to visit Nathan Bedford Forrest historic site. Interesting perspective seeing  how the battle may have looked from the water.

 Sunset at Clifton Marina, Clifton TN.

This picture doesn't show the real condition of the dock or the marina.  The docks were in bad shape,  they ran my water through 150 feet of garden hose because the dock water was not hooked up.  

Once on the Tennessee River the marinas and restaurants were not much to speak off. 

We are now in Demopolis, at the Demopolis Yacht Basin.  Kevin, Vicki, Pace and Finn came from Clinton, Ms to spend the weekend with us.  We had several very southern meals at local restaurants, and a great visit with them.

Another day in Demplolis due to weather.  We will be anchoring out for two nights when ever we get under way.

Underway At Last

After a wonderful ,warm send off from ours friends at Black Cove Marnia, on Friday, we are together on the Cumberland. This is the first time we've  had access to our  Blog. Verizon signals are weak in this area. Not many folks on the water. The colorful Tug Boat Captains kept us company. They have gone from "Country Sourthern" to "Gentlemen Jack". A deer crossed in 40 foot  water in front of the boat just before Lake Bartley State Park. We delt with quiet a bit of trash in that area. The currents carried us along at about 10 miles an hour while engines were near idle speeds. We are reading and resting at Lake Bartley State Park letting the rain pass.  All is quiet and well.

D-DAY

D-day has come and gone.  We are still at Black Jack Cove Marina waiting for the waters to calm down.  We have have had flood waters that caused turbulence and trash in the Cumberland river.
According to the forecast we should be able to pull out this Friday. 

This is a picture from Cona's retirement party with the  Jugg Sisters on the NASHTRASH tour.
