October 20 - New Johnsonville TN to Clifton TN


What a welcome change - we had blue skies and sunshine. Temperatures were however still below average and we had strong head winds. Later in the afternoon it finally started to warm up. Our trip took us along some very beautiful stretches of the Tennessee. As can be seen, Virginia relieved me from having to pilot the boat - it lasted just 5 minutes. We had an easy day since we needed to cover just 62 miles. Towards mid afternoon we were hailed by radio - a raft asked for a tow. The current and winds were too much for their small outboard. These water gypsies rafted from Pittsburgh PA down the Ohio River to the Tennessee River. After towing them to a nearby creek, we continued on to Clifton Marina in Clifton TN. Dnner that evening was at the small marina snack shop. Ron and Karlene Redder, from the Blue Line, joined us for dinner.

  1. Saw Pete and Shirley last night and they mentioned the fridge issue. That reminded me to catch up on the blog. Hope the weather continues to improve for you. Enjoy!
