Green Turtle Bay Marina, Great Rivers, KY






37 00.435N

88 13.552W


Meeting of the Ohio and Tennessee River in Paducah

with the large building in the background. Made it to the Cumberland River and Barclay Lock and Dam where we waited 2 1/2 hours for the lock. Our buddies, because they are faster, made it though the lock ahead of us and arrived at the marina 2 1/2 hours before us! We had to wait for a tow to go through and then we could go.

Blue heron took a ride on the lock door.

We will be staying here at Green Turtle Bay Marina for a few days. Ed has to change the oil in the two engines and do some other maintenance work.


There were many fellow Loopers here and we had a beach party one night, complete with a campfire for roasting hot dogs, and a spirited bocce ball tournament. Lots of fun with good company.
