Nov. 25 Anchored in Higgins Bay TR mm 37.3 68 miles
We pulled anchor at 7:30. We had to take the hair dryer to the front
isin glass to melt the frost from the outside and then wipe it down so we could
see to drive. It was 33 degrees. Roy had the propane heater going on the fly
bridge so it was nice and toasty . We
got about a mile down river and hit fog.
We stopped, put on the radar and saw something blocking the
waterway. We blew our fog horn every
five minutes. We inched our way till we
got to the tow with 9 barges that was banked but almost blocking the river but
we could get around them. We drove for
about 30 minutes in fog. We only met two
tows today. There were quite a few
little boats fishing cause the weather was clear and no wind. Saw lots of deer blinds on the water where
you can drive your boat in to shoot ducks. Our grandson would love it. We were anchored today by 3:30 and had a
beautiful sunset on the Tennessee River.
Everything on the boat is still
working great. Hope to get warmer as we
head farther south.
