TENNESSEE RIVER….THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES
I think a glue should be named after Green Turtle Bay. The place seems to have this effect on cruisers. It’s just so hard to leave. GTB is simply comfortable. It is a great place to stop if you need to get things done. The…

OUR RUN DOWN THE MISSISSIPPI
This part of the cruise is quite a challenge. Open water, even on the Great Lakes, is comparatively easy to negotiate. There, the weather is the biggest factor. On the rivers, however, there are several additional factors that have to…
