Back to KY Lake and on up the Tennessee River

We’re back on Kentucky Lake after a couple of days at GTB marina. We checked in after 16 days at anchor to take care of business and get a satellite TV system installed. We went with a Tracvision M3 and subscription to the Dish Network…now we have too many channels to choose from. Our first night at anchor with real TV changes the experience a bit. We had also upgraded our inverter batteries, so hopefully we can maintain good 110 power.

We also took out the trash after 16 days! The trash compactor has worked great and we were really surprised that we could fit two weeks trash into the compactor bin and still lift the bag!

We reprovisioned with a trip to Paducah, did laundry, defrosted the fridge, washed the boat, cleaned behind our ears…..We also had a nice bike ride at the Livingston county trail system. It’s north of GTB about 5 miles and had a trail that led down to the TN river next to the Kentucky Lock. We popped out just as a tow loaded with coal was entering the lock and passing another tow with empty barges tied up to the federal mooring cell. This bike trail also included the Sanders archeological area, a 1000 year old Mississippian settlement and graveyard.

We’ll hang around a few of these anchorages on Kentucky Lake before we push on up the Tenn River toward our winter home in Mississippi.
