Overtaking signels,  VHF 16 or 13, or Whistle are very important as most of us ( myself included) rarely keep an adiquate lookout aft. I have been passed many times close aboard at high speed with no warning, and often turn into the wake to avoid being thrown on my beam ends, so # 2 boat had better let me know that he is there.

Tom,

We have gone up the Tenn-Tom when everyone else was headed South. We made 
that trip 3 times, against the traffic!!!! All of our trips started the 
first of October.

Main thing is don't rush as there is lots to see and do.
You have received some good advice and hints so far.

Definitely go to Chattanooga and we recommend that the few miles to 
Knoxville is well worth it.  Go just a few more miles and you can see the 
SEA RAY plant in all it's glory----you will see a lot of those boats and be 
waked by them!!!!!

Another don't miss is Nashville. They have a very nice city dock and it is 
right down town.

Well worth the trip.

One last thing, know the    WHISTLE SIGNALS and use them when meeting or 
overtaking tows.

Easy to remember:  One whistle I am on the right.
                                Two whistle Iam on the left.

This is true meeting or overtaking.

Have a great trip.

We have sevral articles on the trip on our web page.
