Day #31-Pebble Isle Marina

 
We got here about 12:00 pm and bought 200 gallons of diesel, even though we still have a 1/2 tank left.  It's been the cheapest around @ $3.89/gallon.  Another beautiful, sunny and wam day here. We might be staying here for a few days for some R&R, plus laundry, supplies, etc. Hope to post more pix for you to enjoy. We just never have internet services to update /upload pix.
Glad it's Friday......in fact.....anyday feels like Friday :)
It's a very nice and relaxing feeling.

Day #30-Crooked Creek,TN

Heading to Crooked Creek, TN which is about 20 miles down the TN river. We left about 9:00am and the two boats that anchored near us last night are also heading south. It's really neat to see four trawlers in a row heading south. Also you can see a picture of an abanded dock right on the river. The weather is going to be in the 80's again.....we really are enjoying this warm weather. We have also enjoyed watching minnows and other fish in the areas where we have anchored....so much for cheap entertainment. We only get a couple of tv channels, but manage to get some news and weather in the mornings before we leave.
Glad to see some more of our friends have joined our blog....welcome aboard!

Day #28-Panther Bay, TN

Got here about 11:00am after some heavy fog this am., but was able to leave by 9:00am, so just a couple of hours to cruise and charge up the batteries. Scot had some minor  repair work to do with our holding tank....phew!  Anyway, hope that is fixed.

 
At night it is so beautiful with all the stars and now an half-moon shining. We are early to bed, usually around 8:30pm, which is really dark here and then up by 7:00 am taking a shower on the boat when we anchor out.
We actually saw some while pelicans on the Tennessee River this morning coming down to Panther Bay. We are truly in awe looking at all the magestic wild life so far on our trip.

Day # 27-Ginger Bay, TN

 
No internet services yesterday, but wanted to let you know that we anchored in Ginger Bay, TN, which was beautiful. Dinghied to a boat launch and met a guy from Michigan City, IN, which is our hometown. Guess it really is a small world. Weather was great....in the 80"s!

                                    Wonderful news....we made a pizza in our oven last night!

Day#26-Kentucky Lake

 
Burr....but the sun is warming us up. Going to anchor somewhere across Ky Lake. I'll try and update later but not sure if we'll have service.
Bummer...wasn't able to watch the ND/PU game last night...so much for our cable box. We did have an interesting dinner with the locals and learned a lot about RV'ing in Canada and Alaska. The pictures were beautiful and Bob had some funny stories to share. Dinner consisted of  hamburgers, potato salad, a delicious green salad and some people brought desserts. Everyone that we met were so friendly and many of them were loopers who shared some stories.

Day #25 - Still @ Kenlake, KY

Well it does feel like October, sunny but cool down here, low 60's. Tonight it's suppose to go down to 39 degrees, so we decided to spend another day here with electricity to plug in the space heater tonight.  Scot and I were able to go for a bike ride to a little town called Aurora, KY. Not much there, but it felt good to get some exercise. There are lots of hills around that made the ride pretty interesting. Not too many leaves have changed color as yet.
We are invited to a birthday party for one of the locals at the marina tonight. He will be showing pictures of his RV trip through Canada and Alaska. This will be our second Saturday night dinner hosted by the friendly marinas around here.  Looking forward to watching the PU/ND tonight on ESPN. We asked for a cable box hoping to catch the game tonight.

Wondering what shoes to wear.......
