RETURN TO PEBBLE ISLE

Aug. 25, 2013---Departed Green Turtle Bay Marina at 9:00 a.m.  Went 1 mile up Cumberland River and crossed over to Tennessee River. Went up river to Pebble Isle Marina. It was quite windy for half the day. Great time for sailboaters. Saw more boats today than had been seen all together in past two months. Apparently everyone realizes the "fun in sun season" is about over. Sailboats, houseboats, speedboats, pontoon boats, personal water crafts and various other boats were plentiful today. Wind let up about noon and the water became vary smooth. Pleasant 74 mile journey. Arrived Pebble Isle Marina at 5:45 p.m.  
Sailboat towing PWC.

Houseboat towing pontoon boat.

Another colorful sailboat.

Spotted this tug about 5 miles ahead of us.
Traveling nearly the same speed as it took about 40 miles
in 4 hours to overtake it.
