Grand Rivers, KY

We finally had an easy day! We followed the Ohio River for only about 1 mile to the Cumberland River and had the river to ourselves. We did see 2 fishing boats in the 33 miles we traveled and did 1 lock. This lock was one of the large modern ones and even though we were raised 57' it didn't take very long.

Green Turtle Bay Marina has been home for 3 nights. We arrived about 1:00 on Thursday, filled up with fuel, pumped out and found a slip. It was nice to be tied to a dock after 2 nights of anchoring. They have a great marina store and restaurant on the property. This is a "dry" county so everywhere we eat we have to bring our wine! Paducah is the closest city so we used their courtesy van and went to Walmart to get supplies.

Pattie's restaurant is close by and well known for their 2" pork chops and desserts. Of course we had to go there for supper. The dessert was great!!

There seems to be things to do while in a marina. Bob washed the lower part of the boat and laundry and cleaning always needs to be done!!! We will be on the move for a few days so that takes a lot of preparation.
