During last year's trip to Madison Indiana, we noted that Louisville was not that much further, so we decided to plan a trip this year to Louisville aboard the Degaje. Friends, Dan and Jenny Crocker also joined us aboard their boat, "Trust Me Too."
We left bright and early Friday morning, destined for Smugglers Cove Marina which is about half way, sixty- five miles of the 135 mile journey.

Our average cruising speed was 9 miles per hour, so the estimated time for the trip was close to 7 hours.

Barb and I had wondered if we could take Degaje up Big Bone Creek where Big Bone Lick State Park is located. This trip we were adventerous enough to try and were surprised to find more than adequate depth to handle Degaje, in some places 16 feet below our keel.

After arriving at Smugglers Cove, we joined the Crocker's and two other couples, Terry and Nancy Glasgow and Dave and Anita Moeggenberg, from Ohio River Launch Club club who had overnighted at Rising Sun on Thursday night and were also staying at Smugglers Cove on Friday Night.

After a brief Happy Hour we walked to the on-site restaurant, Sunset Grille, and enjoyed the weekly "Rib Night".
