And more TN River

Sunrise the next morning when we left Pebble Isle Marina.
The next photo is to show that the shoreline of the Tennessee is wide and varied. Often it seems like there are islands; sometimes the shoreline is steep with limestone cliffs and other times there are lowlands - maybe rocky; maybe sandy. There are many anchorages that can be explored and enjoyed - when the weather is warmer.

We don't want to miss cruising this stupendous area so we have decided to leave CRAZY EIGHTS in the Chattanooga area to explore the many miles next year. When we traveled along the Land Between the Lakes in KY and TN it was foggy and drizzly, a real disappointment since I'd so looked forward to seeing the 100 miles of spectacular scenery. I told Rich that we really need to repeat that area! Others tell us that we must not miss the Cumberland River, which we traveled only a few miles before turning onto the TN River.

Surprisingly, we are not the last of the Loopers. We met several other boats making their way southward. A couple of the boats are wintering in the MS area on the Tennessee-Tom Bigby waterway and then returning to the TN River next spring. We may see them again while most of the friends that we've met earlier in the year will be in FL, the Keys or the Bahamas for the next few months. We will drive back to GA after the Thanksgiving Holiday and Lee will go back to work. Rich will do some projects at home and Reggie will enjoy his new neighborhood!
