Knoxville

Today was a little breezy, so not quite so hot as it has been. Cruised from Fort Loudoun Calhouns Restaurant to Knoxville Calhouns Restaurant, lol! There are some very nice large homes along the Fort Loudoun Lake portion of the Tennessee River! So most the day was just spent admiring them as we cruised along. We also passed the Nina replica ship. And one of the largest sailboat marina's I've seen. We had planned to dock on the Knoxville free city dock, but it was filled with boats here for the UT football game this weekend. So the next choice was the Calhoun's restaurant free dock. We plan to stay here two nights, taking a rest day tomorrow to explore Knoxville. We didn't see much debris today, although the water is still pretty brown. Wasn't much current leaving Fort Loudoun, but as we proceeded upriver, we did start seeing about a knot of current. Water is still high here, but judging by tree debris along the shore, looks like it's dropped 3 feet from it's high point. The dams are still dumping a lot of water downstream.Baca selengkapnya
