Hello Tennessee

We left our anchorage at Pacer Point on the west side of Kentucky Lake just south of Aurora, KY, shortly after sunrise. We motored south on the Tennessee River toward an undetermined anchorage for tonight. By late morning we crossed the state line from Kentucky into Tenessee, we'll soon be off this part of the river they call Kentucky Lake.

Kentucky Dam was originally built to control floodwaters in the region. The 160,000 acre lake that was created as a byproduct of the process is a tremendous recreational asset to the area. There are countless miles of hiking trails, camp grounds and boating and fishing sites. In addition the lake serves as a reservoir for a major hydroelectric generator.

In the afternoon we found a great anchorage in Richardson Creek on the “Land between the Lakes” side of Kentucky Lake. There is no town nearby to identify our location; we are approximately 60 mile west of Nashville.

Rather than put another sunset picture on the blog, I decided to post a picture of the three of us. It has been awhile since our families have seen us and I don’t want them to forget what their loving husbands/fathers/sons look like.

Our fondest thoughts to all.
