Cincinnati to Warsaw, Kentucky

It’s Fall and after three straight seasons in the water, Barb and I have put Degaje in to storage for the winter. I am now aboard the Island Hopper, helping transit the boat back to Florida. My part will be from Cincinnati to Mobile, with the wives joining us at Green Turtle Bay.

The first day (October 20th) took us from Cincinnati to Warsaw, Kentucky (63 statute miles) where we stayed at Smugglers Cove Marina. A good dinner at the marina restaurant, the Sunset Grille consisted of the special, T-Bone steak, baked potato and corn on the cob for $13.95.

The second day (October 21st) started late, since we had a relatively short distance to cover (65 miles) to Louisville KY. A very quick lock thru at Markland Lock and Dam (small chamber) started the day on a good noteFirst lock thru of the trip, Markland DamConfluence of the Kentcuky and Ohio Rivers
