This is a map of Kentucky Lake on the left and Lake Barkley is on the right. The large red oval indicates the canal connecting the two lakes. The smaller oval connected to the large oval indicates approximately where Green Turtle Bay Marina is located. The marina is with 1/2 mile of Grand Rivers, KY (population 332). The town is small but they have a lot going for them.
After Bob changed the oil on the engine, changed the transmission oil, and replaced a fuel filter, we took a courtesy car, compliments of the marina, to Paducka, KY about 25 miles west on Thursday. We shopped for provisions at WalMart and treated ourselves to mexican food for lunch. Back to the marina for swimming in the pool.
Friday morning we washed the boat inside & out.
Washing off the Mississippi Mud.
We were greatly rewarded with a cool ride to Paducka for shopping at the fresh veggie market & lunch at Panera Bread (YUMMMM) with Stu & JoAnn. Great conversation with a couple of fun retired fellow sailors.
I meant to mention back at Cairo, IL that the mile numbering system on the Mississippi River begins at Cairo (the upper Mississippi). So from we made it from mile marker 767 at Pepin, WI to marker 0 at Cairo, IL. Amazing that we have gone that many miles already.
