Wednesday 9/19
This morning, we meet several loopers at the marina as well as Don whom we docked with in Nashville. It's amazing how we cross paths and share the camaraderie and friendship between us. After enjoying more swimming and working on the blogspot, Puffin and crew head off for an anchorage on the other side of the LBL via the Barkley Canal (mile 25.4) sans lock that links the Cumberland with the Tennessee River. This canal passage begins our journey on Kentucky Lake, one of the world's largest manmade lakes. As opposed to going down river(with the flow) on the Cumberland, this relatively short trek on Kentucky Lake (Tennessee River) will be up stream. (Our plan is to cruise to the south end of the LBL along Kentucky Lake until reaching Paris Landing Marina.) After exploring several possible anchorages, one which had graffiti along the rocks, we choose to drop the hook at Ewes Bay(mile 37.2),a cove off of Higgins Bay described as an excellent anchoring enviroment.
