Pickwick Landing State Park Anchorage






35 3.264N
88 13.745W
We now have gone more than 2700 miles.
Some scenes along the way. One house put their fence too close to the edge. I don't think the erosion was from the river!

Double Island Anchorage




35 27.891N

88 01.821W
The eagle was waiting for us when we arrived behind Double Island to anchor. Some of the other scenes along the river. Heard some barges going by during the night and hoping they wouldn't take a wrong turn as our anchorage was just off the main channel.

Birds of Harmon Creek and other things






As we were coming into the anchorage I was on the bow and I was saying to Ed not to go near the blue heron in the water. He didn't listen, he thought the blue heron was floating in the water and I was trying to tell him that blue herons walk in the water, they don't float! I was trying to tell him that the water was shallow. Anyway we avoided a disaster and stayed in a very nice anchorage though tricky to get into. Another beautiful sunset. And we're still talking!

Harmon Creek Anchorage






36 10.010N

87 55.926W
Some of the scenery on the way to Harmon Creek, the bridge to nowhere and the abandoned building in the middle of the river. There are some real shallow spots along the river so you really want to stay on the sail line and watch the markers.

Our new house!

After the stockmarket crash today we decided to downsize!

Graffity Bay



A dinghy ride from Pisgah Bay to Graffity Bay and as you can see some one put UConn on the wall in Kentucky!
