Green Turtle Bay Marina (day 6)

Twenty-four hours makes a big difference around here. I contacted the Marina at the Lake Barkley State Park and received a different report on the water depth situation! At present there doesn’t seem to be a problem if we stay in the marked channel and proceed slowly into the harbor! With all of that new news we have changed our plans and will cruise to Lake Barkley State Park Marina tomorrow. This area is special to me and I’m looking forward to visiting our property!

Today was another day of kicking back, doing a lot of nothing while still getting something done on the boat! There isn’t any stress associated with this part of the trip. My special project at this time is to repair our ice maker. Ice makers on boats seem to break down when least expected. The challenge is to repair it with out very much test equipment available!

Some old friends Paul and Cindy on Bulldog Sally showed up today. They took a quick trip home while their prop was repaired. It’s always fun when you get to see old friends again.

Barb and I are trying to figure out where we will be a month from now! I think we will spend a few days more in Lake Barkley then cross over to Kentucky Lake and head for Paris Landing State Park in Paris, TN. From there Chattanooga could be the next major destination.
