Today started out with a few locals trying to trouble shoot the Bades boat problem. After a few hours of intense work including one of them, Carl, diving under the boat looking for a rope on the shaft, a broken hose clamp on the turbo was located and the day got better! A half hour later it was repaired and their boat is 100% again.

Later we visited Shiloh National Battlefield. We used the marina courtesy car and drove to the battlefield. It’s hard to picture how 80,000 men 40,000 plus on each side could line up and shoot point blank for two days leaving close to 24,000 men dead and countless others wounded!

On the way back to the marina we stopped and dined at a famous local restaurant, Hagy’s Catfish Hotel that specializes in Catfish and hushpuppies. The coleslaw was unique and served dry with the dressing on the side. You add what you wanted and mix it yourself! I asked what it was made with but was told it’s a family secret.
When we returned to the marina eight additional looper boats had arrived and filled this place up. A party was in progress under cover of the dock patio which we joined and a good time was had by all.
