With the thunderstorm last night we were fortunate to be
tied to the fuel dock at Cuba Landing Marina.
We had plans of leaving at 7AM, but with the heavy rain we waited until
10:30AM and decided to cut our cruise plan to 60 miles. Once we left the marina and crossed under the
Cuba Landing Highway Bridge the Kentucky Lake ends. The limestone-lined Tennessee River was the
predominant feature for most of the day.
We passed about 5 barges today and commented how much smaller they are
than what we encountered on the Mississippi.
Feeling better today. Unfortunately, I had a reaction to the steroid shot and my face turned beet red and was puffy yesterday. I had a prickly sensation up and down my arms and on my face and a very restless night. I am ready to feel healthy again!
We pulled into Swallow Bluff Island at mile marker 169.3 and
anchored in 15 feet of water.

Lady Finger Bluff at mile marker 130.is where the river narrows and the current picks up.
We were bucking the 1 1/2 mile current the rest of the day.
