About this Blog

I used try to limit entries in this blog to boating related actives and overall things kind of moved to Facebook. Now back here after selling Degae, but continuing to travel. Stay tuned.

New Chapter

As we enter retirement, Barb and I decided to relocate the boat to Green Turtle Bay located in the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, Grand Rivers Kentucky.   This will involve moving Degaje 450 miles down the Ohio and Cumberland Rivers over a period of 9-10 days, with 9 lock throughs.  The difficult part has been the planning, scheduling and adjusting for river conditions.  We finally decided to leave today in less than ideal conditions, then cool our heels at Smugglers Cove 66 miles down river for a few days, waiting for conditions to improve.  We have now arrived at Smugglers Cove.  Below are pictures of the launch in a high river and a dock which was inaccessible resulting in a direct launch and go from the trailer.
