| Fall colors |
The day started early with many things to do before leaving Green Turtle Bay. With all of our chores completed and the boat fueled and pumped out we departed the marina at 11:15 and headed south.

| Barkley Canal to Kentucky Lake |
Kentucky Lake is large compared to Lake Barkley. For most of the 44 miles we traveled today the shore line was a mile to a mile and a half wide. The buoyed channel favors the land between the lakes shore line so there was beautiful scenery to see as the shore line was bursting with fall colors.

| Tennessee River here we come! |
We arrived at Paris Landing State Park at 4:15 pm and found a wonderful marina and park. Joan and Jay that entered the marina ahead of us on SV Windsong are loopers and they invited us to join them for dinner at the Paris Landing State Park Restaurant. A park ranger picked us up at the marina then gave us the grand tour of the park before delivering us to the restaurant. After dinner he picked us up again and returned us to our boats.
Tomorrow we will reconnect with Chris and Bruce at Pebble Island Marina on the Tennessee River.
