Green Turtle Bay to Paris Landing State Park

Carol took Tom's car this morning to visit with Tom's wife and the rest of her girl friends from Oklahoma. Tom and I prepared the boat to travel, we needed a pump out and began our journey about 9:30. Our destination was Paris Landing at mile marker 66 on Kentucky Lake. We crossed over through the canal from Barkley Lake to Kentucky Lake at mile marker 25. Kentucky Lake is a beautiful body of water created by the Kentucky lock and dam at mile marker 20, the Lake then continues to mile 120. We passed a new bridge building project for Tennessee Highway 60, it appears to be a project that will allow Hwy 60 to become 4 lanes. About 1:00 this afternoon our Garmin Chart Plotter flickered and a few minutes later went black. I thought it might have over heated so I shaded the case and waited for it to cool, still black. I called Garmin and did a few trouble shooting steps, still black, dead. We completed the day on the iPad with the Garmin ap. I need to find a way to ship the chart plotter to Garmin in Kansas and they will repair or replace under warranty. Pleased about the repair and replace but a real issue to run on the iPad for any length of time. Just one of those hurdles we need to overcome.
