    Got underway from Harrison Bay State Park this morning around 10:30a with four boats, C-Traveler, Sea Spray, C-Play, and Sunbeam. (All four boats C-Dorys. My 25, two 22's and a Tomcat 24.) Caught up with our fifth boat, Mystery Girl (Ranger Tug 23). Slow and pleasant cruise 30 miles upstream to Mud Creek. Only about a knot of current on the bow, and not much debris. Mostly vegetation, and a few tree limbs. Passed by TVA's Sequoyan Nuclear Plant. Anchored in Mud Creek around 4pm. Got our kayaks down and paddled or peddled (I have a Hobie Pedal Kayak) around the creek. Tomorrow we plan to go through the Watts Bar Lock, about 23 miles upstream.Read more
