Yesterday we turned onto the Ohio River, and now we are
moving into the Cumberland River. Today
we went through two Ohio Locks and it went smoothly, mainly because with four
boats together, the lockmasters don’t seem to make you wait so long.

We went past Paducah Kentucky, where the American Queen
River Boat was docked and we had intended to stop there and see the town but a
Dragon Boat race and river festival had taken up all available dock space. So next week we will get a car and go in to
Paducah to see the Quilt Museum and River Heritage Museum.

Found a beautiful anchorage this evening and the guys got
out the dinghies. It seems funny that it
was fun to leave our boats – after 3 solid days – only to get on little tiny
boats and bomb around on the water.
Dennis took Sue and her golden retriever to the shore for a walk, and
then everyone ended up on the ‘Always 5 O’clock’ for drinks and laughs and
stories. So dinner was late and
easy. I think the loop would be fun by
ourselves, but in a different way. It’s
been great to have the others to rely on and enjoy. Everyone has a different sort of expertise,
and all contributions are welcome.
Fortunately we travel slowly because sometimes it takes awhile for the
whole committee to come to a conclusion on where to anchor etc.
Our companions are Al and Charli, on Always 5 O’clock, Chuck
and Sue from Blue Moon, and Bill and Lori on Entrée. We met all three couples at the pizza party
in Chicago and are really happy to be traveling with them.
