We had a late start today, primarily due to waiting for a marine supply store to open regarding a couple of hoses. Our goal was to reach Green Turtle Bay, but we had to settle for Paris Landing State Park, a 150 mile journey instead.
Dinner was at the State Park lodge, a buffet that was both good and inexpensive. While most marinas have been providing a courtesy car, the State of Tennessee provides a ranger to drive you to the lodge. When you are finished with dinner, the front desk radios them for your pick up which is both prompt and courteous.
The trip itself started in Pickwick lake, which continued to reveal itself as a large and beautiful body of water. The two large marinas in this lake seem to attract VERY large boats from Florida for the summer, for use during that time in northern climes and now to keep the boats above the 32 degree latitude cut off for hurricanes, keeping their insurance company happy.
After descending to the Tennessee river, we made good progress to Kentucky Lake and Paris Landing State Park.
