OCTOBER 10 TO 13: BACK DOWN THE CUMBERLAND RIVER

The blog took a back seat for a while but here is a quick catch up: 


October 10:  It was with heavy hearts that we left Nashville very early in the morning.  We were leaving under very different circumstances than when we arrived.  Both of us miss our Buddy a lot and we will still grieve for some time.

With the current now in our favor and our early start, we made good time down the river.  We were also lucky enough to arrive at the one and only Lock just as a Tow was leaving so we locked straight through with no delay.  The two other boats that left yesterday had a three hour wait at this same Lock.  We reached our anchorage just before dusk and spent a quiet night after a long day.

October 11:  Thick mist greeted us this morning so we had to delay our departure.   Finally, we weighed anchor and completed the final leg back to Green Turtle Bay Marina.

October 12-13:  Boat chores, laundry and food shopping was on the agenda for our two full days in Green Turtle Bay.
