NASHVILLE to HENDERSONVILLE / Sunday, September 18 (Day 241)


Admiral's Log:     9 am, 9/18/16
                         Air Temp:   75     Water Temp:   76
                        Winds:   2 mph
                        Speed:   8.1 mph

Six boats left headed to Tim and Carol's of Liquid Assets for the Crossing of their Wake Party. A few family members and friends were having a cook out at their house on Lake Hickory.

Part of our flotilla, there are 2 more behind us.

"We did it!"


We had to go through Lake Hickory Lock and Dam, which took 15 minutes to be raised 60 feet. Tim exclaimed this was his last lock on the Loop; with  bittersweet watery eyes.

And after the rise.

We got to Tim's house at 1:30. All the boats went to a marina and Mike brought everyone back in our boat to Tim's house. We were leaving early in the morning and the rest were staying for a couple more days.

We had fun meeting Tim and Carol's friends and family. The next door neighbor even let the kids and few of us adult's, like me, take advantage of the offer.

We had a great meal and toasted Tim and Carol's rare accomplishment and went back to the boat and rested. We had an early morning planned back to Clarksville.
