Great trip ahead of you. We hope to make it to Knoxville next summer and eventually, in a year or two, complete our loop back to FL. We love the TN River.

Thanks for the report. Keep them coming so we can travel with you. We are thinking of bringing OPTIMYSTIQUE up to Watts Bar Lake next summer and enjoying fresh water again.
Stop by Dockside Marina in Marathon when you get down to the Keyes.

Enjoy the ride! Our home is Signal Mtn, outside Chattanooga and we've boated/raced on the TN River for decades. It's gorgeous. We plan to bring the DeFever to Lake Chickamauga next winter before we start the Loop.

Have a great trip! You will enjoy Fort Myers. Just a thought, you might want to substitute "acclamation" for "training", unless you're planning on being trained also.

Have a great trip, and be patient with the new First Mate.
We're making plans to leave Seabrook around March 1 to spend several months exploring the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers. Your reports are whetting our appetite.

These locks are huge. Nothing like we had in Pittsburgh.

Thanks for the responses. What a beautiful shot of the blow boat. We are at mile marker 524. I'm trying to keep a keen eye for the guys in the low fishing boats. I throw a very large wake and can really cause them problems. But when it's a camouflage boat up in the trees well my radar isn't that good. I may have some bullet holes after this trip.

hey David
Congrats on the new wife.
Helen and I are at Joe Wheeler and are planning to leave here around Dec 1, plus or minus, and heading south, depending on weather and whether I solve my oil pressure problem. Anyway, if you get a chance, stop by and say hello. We would love to see you again and your new bride.
Regards
Tony B

If you can imagine cruising threw the middle of no where. Logs all along the beach.
And when you get up on that little white spot on the first picture you realize there's two men in a boat. Even at 8 it's I'm throwing a wave that could knock them over. For the most part there's nobody out here but us. The water is smooth great day to cruise.

Hmmmm, HeyHey David, am I missing something here. A new wife and a new boat! It looks like I will be out of town when you pass through Chattanooga. We are in the mountains for Thanksgiving with the family. Probably be home Sunday. You know how to get me if you will still be in Chat.
I knew about the new wife. Must have missed the new boat.

You really have to look close to see the boat but it's there
