Golconda to Green Turtle Bay

We left Golconda in good weather around 9 AM, destination Green Turtle Bay.  While the distance to travel was only 48 miles we had two lock through's (Smithland and Barkely) as well as proceeding upriver on the Cumberland against current.  The Cumberland, like the Ohio is suffering from swollen waters due to rain.  We arrived in Green Turtle Bay around 3:00 PM, with our new neighbors at our dock ready to take a line!  Had dinner at the little Yacht Club tonight after meeting more folks on our dock.

 Although the Cumberland as well as the Ohio is suffering from high water, at least it is not as brown as the Ohio.  Nice change!

 Notice this large nest on the high tension pole, Don't think its sparrows or a robin.

 Lake Barkley, the smaller of the two lakes here, Kentucky Lake being the larger, is approximately 50 miles long and 58,000 acres.
