Quiet night at Drakes Creek Marina and not to far to travel today. Erik and I both got some work done and had a wonderful breakfast of omelets made with shish-kabob leftovers then decided to head to Nashville. As Erik was prepping to throw off the lines I suggested we call the lock....good thing we did! The lock-master said he had two tugs ahead of us and it would be a 4 hour wait. So we stayed at the marina and I did some more school work and Erik worked for a bit then took a nap We headed up to the lock around noon and still waited till about 1:30 before we were able to lock down. Other than a brief rain shower, the 30 mile cruise to Nashville was easy cruising and uneventful. We arrived in Nashville about 4pm. Unfortunately we had some issues with the electric and could not run the A.C. 蘿
Cousins Norma, Jimmy, and Willow picked us up and took us to Aunt Sharon's for a lasagna dinner, yum! Spent some time visiting with family before being brought back down to the boat. Also tied at the dock was another boat that had come up from Green Turtle Bay as well. We chatted with the couple on Alysana(sp?) for a few who are planning to start their loop in October. We listened to the Joan Jett and STYX concert that was happening across the river for a while before heading to bed.

| Passing the General Jackson Showboat, it had just returned from a trip downtown. |

| Check out the steps up to this house!!!! (Actually there is a rail for a lift of some type!) |

Coming back in to Nashville.
