Monday was spent at Green Turtle Bay. We cleaned the inside and outside of the boat and did a little laundry. We figured we might as well do any laundry we have, whenever we have the opportunity. After all of the work was done, we rented a golf car and went into Grand Rivers, Kentucky. We drove the golf cart all around the marina too. Green Turtle Bay has everything you could ever want. There's the marina, the beach, boat rentals, laundry, a store, a restaurant, an indoor pool, an exercise room, condos, fuel, golf carts.....The day was beautiful and perhaps we should have been traveling, but it was nice to sightsee on land.
Tuesday we left Green Turtle Bay at 8:15 A.M. in the rain. It was gray and rainy all day. After about 5 hour of straining to see buoys and day markers, we decided to stop. We docked at Paris Landing State Park in Buchanan, Tennessee. This harbor only charges .70 a foot with electric. We thought that was a pretty good bargain and we wouldn't be blowing around at anchor tonight. The park has a lodge with a buffet from 4:30 til 8:00 for dinner. We were told to call the rangers and they would come and pick us up and take us to the lodge. The ranger who came to get us (Ranger Davis) said he lives in the park and is on call 24/7, even Christmas and New Years.
We spoke to Gina who is sending us all of our accumulated mail. She is sending it to Aberdeen, where we expect to be on Monday. John is anxious to get his boating magazines. We are hoping that tomorrow will be sunny and dry. We would settle for just the dry part.
