Pebble Isle Marina to Wolf Creek Anchorage on Tennessee River

We woke up before dawn and the moon was still beautiful.

 

As soon as we had some light, we headed back out onto the Tennessee River.

 

It was a Saturday and we saw quite a few pleasure boats. This slowed us down a bit as we need to back off the engines when passing fishing boats or small pleasure craft floating in the river to avoid rocking them too much with our wake.

 

The barge below is loaded with giant rocks. So incredible what these tows can haul.

 

 

As we went further along the Tennessee, we began to see quite a few beautiful homes.

 





And a big surprise! I spotted an interesting bird along the waterfront. We didn't get to the camera quickly enough so the pics aren't great but it is a bald eagle!

 

 

 

 

The river was quite deep in some places. The temperature continued to be H-O-T! Check out the depth and sea temp on our gauge.

 

We slipped behind an island on Wolf Creek to anchor for the night and had a swim.

 

 

 

There was a couple of other Loopers anchored there as well.

 

 

 

Another beautiful moon.

 



We traveled 97 miles today and did not go through any locks. Tomorrow we will go through Pickwick Lock and then on to Grand Harbor marina where the boat will stay for 3-4 weeks.
