GL: Tennessee River

[Bill Donovan]

Bob:

You are going to love the Tennessee!  It is one of the best cruising 
rivers in the USA, maybe anywhere.

First off, try to get a copy of Fred Myers' book, "The Tennessee 
River Cruise Guide."  It is out of print, but there are copies here 
and there.  Worst case, borrow one from someone on this list (I am 
using mine, or I would lend it to you).

You might also check out Bob Duthie's offerings.  Go here for a look:

You can find tons of information on the 'net.  Just Google "Tennessee 
River."  And for some general fun, check out my logs for the days 
between Sept 18th (day 153) and November 13th (Day 201) 
here:  http://tinyurl.com/399rkb.  They chronicle our trip while 
doing the Loop in 2005-2006.

Marinas are pretty plentiful on the TN, from Green Turtle Bay on 
Kentucky and Barkley Lakes (very popular) to Volunteer Landing in 
Knoxville.  Marinas are cheap compared to most of the Loop, and fuel 
is available, although not cheap.  Anchorages are plentiful enough 
and most are beautiful.  Plan to spend some time in downtown 
Chattanooga -- great spot for things to do and see.

Feel free to email me direct for any specifics or questions.

We will be cruising downstream on the Tennessee when you are 
there.  If you see us, give us a hail.

You are going to have FUN!
