Green Turtle Bay, Grand River, KY to Mile 62.6 by Fort Heiman, KY

Yesterday we met Steve and Carolyn Wood from Tennessee who are on their last leg of the Loop. They were a very nice couple. They came over to the boat and went over highlights of their loop experience and some "must see spots" that they enjoyed on the loop. It was very helpful. We also met another couple from Tennessee who are just finishing up.

After 5 days at Green Turtle Bay Marina we were ready to get back on the river again. Besides, this is a dry county and it is time to restock. After getting gas we went through the Barkley Canal and entered Kentucky Lake on the Tennessee River. It is beautiful, very wide, calm, and lots of little coves for anchorages. We anchored out for the night at Fort Heiman, KY; real good anchorage.

CO's comments: I've been talking with several skippers that are on the final leg of their loop and they all have said that the Mississippi is the most miserable part of the trip.
