Tennessee River

I promised Eric not too many pictures of Ginger... sorry Eric!

We are currently at Pebble Isle Marina near New Johnsonville, Tennessee. We had planned to anchor out but storms are predicted so we thought a marina would be more sensible. It poured last night when we were at Paris Landing Marina, about 30 mi. north of here.

We are still traveling on the Tennessee River which flows through Kentucky Lake. The Cumberland River flows through Barkley Lake. Both of these rivers branch off the Mississippi near Paducah, Kentucky. Like the Fox River in northeast Wisconsin, they both flow north instead of south. We still see the occasional tow pushing barges but nothing like we saw on the bigger rivers. Thursday was supposed to be the last really warm day for awhile; it was in the high 80s again. EVER ONWARD!
