Back To The Boat
Having gone back home for the Holidays our time was full of family, food, football, fun, and flurries ❄️….but let’s be honest, mostly food 😄! Life’s never dull in Buffalo. First things first, we made sure to hit up all our favorite local eats. Buffalo pizza has its own style, called delicious 😋! And what…

Home for the Holidays
Friday we started making our way towards Two George’s Marina, where we are leaving the boat while we come home for December and part of January. We went past Florabama and found an anchor spot right next to a little beach. We also saw a guy out on one of those hydrofoil surf boards. It…

Happy Thanksgiving!
Saturday ended up being a mostly chill day. It was drizzling so we walked up to the theater here in the plaza and saw the new Black Panther movie. For the matinee show popcorn cost more than the tickets.🍿 Shane and Brandie are big college football fans so later we met up with them to…

Mobile Bay
Almost done with the river, the next travel day did not have a lock to get through, so we weren’t really in a hurry in the morning. Of the nine boats in the anchorage, we ended up being the last ones up and out. This leg of the journey took us passed the White Cliffs…

Down in Mississippi and Up to No Good
(Who’s singing along? 😉) We had decided to stay two nights at Aqua Yacht. Thursday morning we went with Cam and Heather, from the boat Sea Clef, to the Shilo Civil War Battlefield. We had a tour with Larry DeBerry, whose ancestors fought in the war. His family owned property within the battlefield area up…

Chattanooga
So last Tuesday we got up early to make the roughly 35 miles to Chattanooga in good time. Some of our Looper friends were already there and we had plans to meet up with them. Specifically we wanted to get to the arcade museum between 1-1:30, when unlimited play was half price! We made it…

Second Side Trip
Heading out of Nashville we did not need or want to drag our heels getting back on track to the Loop route. So while we took five days getting down there, we made it back up in three. That first day we went back to Clarksville marina. One of Don’s old friends lives in the…

Day 100!!!
For the next five days we just took our time slowly making our way down Lake Barkley and the Cumberland River to Nashville. Only going about 20-30 miles a day to a new spot to drop anchor. There were some really nice areas though. The whole perimeter of the lake has little coves to tuck…

Kentucky
So after locking up to the Kaskaskia river for the night, Thursday morning we got up early to lock back down and continue on our way. The lock master said we could come down as early as 7am. Mother nature had another idea however and we were surrounded by heavy fog. Not so good for…

The Mississippi
Well I got my wish, it has indeed cooled down. You’re all welcome too 😁. Last Wednesday we woke up to thunder and rain. It was just a light rain so we decided to push on. Further south we had to wait at the next lock for a barge to get through. The lock operator…
