CLARKSVILLE TN to GRAND RIVERS KY, Green Turtle Bay / Tuesday, September 20 (Day 243)

Admiral's Log:     6:30 am, Tues. 9/20/16
                         Air Temp:   64     Water Temp:   75
                        Winds:   calm
                        Speed:   8.5 mph

Once we got to the channel a major fog rolled in! We had to slow the boat to 6 miles per hour. We turned on our radar and navigation lights and Mike even had to honk the horn every so often. Thankfully we have AIS; which is a piece of equipment that transmits to other boats who and where you are and visa versa. 

Foggy!
The fog lasted a couple of hours which slowed us down a bit, but nothing you can do about it!

We counted 7 eagles this day!


Loch Ness Monster of the Cumberland River!
"Castle on the Cumberland", locals call the KY State Prison

We got to Green Turtle around 3:30 and were welcomed by Chica, Jet Stream, Lazy Suzan and Phase II.  It was so nice seeing them again. We all had dinner at Willow Pond and ate catfish, fried okra and hushpuppies.  What a way to celebrate with good old southern food!
