Ditto Landing Marina, Huntsville, AL

We're retracing our path from the beginning of the Tenn Tom Waterway to Chattanooga and returned to Ditto Marine for an overnight stop. We checked for vibrations after changing the props and unfortunately still have them at certain RPMs. We'll probably get it checked out at Demopolis.


We saw Painted Rock from our stern on our way to Chattanooga. It looks even more impressive traveling towards it.

Goose Pond Colony Marina, Scottsboro, AL

We were here on our way to Chattanooga but the restaurant was not open, Ed wanted shrimp and grits. It was worth coming back for.

We are getting a vibration at certain rpms on our starboard engine. We got our extra set of props fixed and matched while we were in Chattanooga. Today Ed changed the props underwater so tomorrow we will know if the vibration was caused by the props--the starboard prop had a ding in it. The outcome will determine where we will leave the boat, either Columbus, MS or Demopolis, AL, when we come home for Thanksgiving.
Ed takes a dive!!!

Trip from Hales Bar to Chattanooga, TN

Starting to see some color in the hills along the Tennessee River
Part of the TVA water storage system. Pumps water to reservoir at top of the mountain.




Turbulance in the lock. Hank and Anne had trouble keeping the boat under control. They started the loop a few weeks ago.



You can tell our boat because of the way we tie up the lines.
