To the Green Turtle Bay Marina in Grand Rivers, Kentucky

Today we traveled forty plus miles; 10 on the Ohio and 30 on the Cumberland River.  The Cumberland is a much narrower river so therefore the tugs tow loads that are only 2 barges wide, instead of three to six wide on the other rivers.

We saw many barges along the sides but hardly any were moving.  Recreational boats were almost totally absent.  The scenery was not as wild as on the other rivers and you could actually see some farm fields through the foliage of some of the trees; gravel operations were plentiful.

The one lock at Lake Barclay brought us up 57 Feet!  This dam is the one that forms Lake Barclay and Kentucky Lake and the vast Land Between the Lakes from the damming of the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers.

The Green Turtle Bay Marina and Resort has all of the ammenities  imaginable including 2 outdoor pools,  exercise room with sauna and indoor pool, a restuarant, marine store, boat repair facilities, a yacht club, 2 courtesy vans, etc.

Tonight we ate at Patti's 1880's Settlement; this restuarant was here before the town existed.  The decorations were victorian, whimsical, dreamy....  hard to decribe. 
This is a dry county so we brought our own wine; by law kept the bottle under the table in an ice bucket they provided!

We like this place enought that we will stay here a few days.

Our service is not allowing us enough power to includ pictures;  we will add some pictures tomorrow by using the marina's computer.
