Tennesse River
Kenlake Lodge, leaving Kenlake Marina
Beautiful limestone bluff's, Tennesse River
Below, nice homes along way.
Left Kenlake Marina on Sunday for a nice cruise on Kentucky Lake to Pebble Isle Marina in Johnsonville Tennessee. Nice day, a little windy, purchased fuel at Pebble Isle ($2.49 @ Gal) and met lots of loopers at this marina today. We all met on the patio for happy hour and had dinner together in the marina restaurant. It is normally closed on Monday but they opened it for us. Aren’t we special?? Had a good time meeting new friends and discussing everyones experiences. Interesting people from all over the country, some finishing their journey and several getting started like us. Met one couple from Redwing Marina in Minneasota and one couple from Stillwater on the St Croix. Met a couple from Florida with a 45' Ocean Alexander, nice boat but of course we are partial.
We were informed that in the morning the Pebble Isle Marina has complimentary fresh Cinnamon rolls & coffee available at the Marina office. I refused to leave until they were done! And they were well worth it.
Tuesday, we left Pebble Isle at 9:15 AM and had a beautiful cruise up the Tennessee River. Lots of nice homes, limestone bluffs, twisting and turning through a very green landscape. There is very little population, no industrial facilities, very few marinas and about the only boaters you see are people going from the north to the south or loopers. This truly is an absolutely gorgeous river, a beautiful part of America and we are happy to have experienced it. We have attached a couple of images. Tonight we are moored at the Clifton Marina in Clifton Tennessee. (Population 2,699) We used the marina courtesy car to go to the grocery store and the drug store for some badly needed provisions. Clifton is a very small, clean, quaint river community on the banks of the Tennessee River. Really a beautiful setting, friendly people, a very nice find for us. Pretty interesting read on the history of Clifton TN.
