Sept 26-27, Grand Rivers, KY

Back from our trip to Nashville in time to watch University of Florida play University of Kentucky on ESPN on the boat. Florida wins 41-7 and quarterback Tim Tebow has a concussion and goes to the hospital. Kentucky newspaper headline the next day states 'Kentucky knocks out Florida quarterback'. Bummer!

We are happy to be back in the marina at Green Turtle Bay. There are lots of 'loopers' here and we get a chance to meet several and exchange stories and experiences. We expect to see many of these boaters again as we all plan to be in the same waters as we are now heading south to Florida for the winter.

This is Maurice, doing the 'loop' in a 21' tug, QUOTIDIAN.
We have seen him several times before on the rivers and are glad to have a chance to meet him. Maurice's home port is St Petersburg.

We take in a 'Variety' show at the local Badgett Playhouse in Grand Rivers, KY. Lots of familiar tunes. Five musicians and four other singers who also dance. Theater is nice and show is very good. 'Greater Tuna' starts next week. We've seen that show and love it. We met 'loopers' Brad and Patti Salvage on the SALVAGE CREW at the playhouse and give them a ride to the marina. Their home port is Guntersville so their loop adventure is almost over. They told us of their adventures in Green Turtle, Bahamas, and we loved hearing about their fun times discovering the Abaco's. Neat folks.

Rental car allows us to do some errands in Paducah and we go back to Patti's 1880 Settlement restaurant for another 2" pork chop before we leave Grand rivers and Green Turtle Bay. This has been a very nice stop. We are well rested.
