Twenty-two miles after turning off the Ohio River, we arrived at the Kentucky Lock to find 2 double size tows waiting to lock thru.
The lock master advised us it would be 3-4 hours before we would lock through. Down went the anchor, out came the grill, lunch time! The first mate cooked while the captain worked on waxing the boat.
Kentucky Lake has become a favorite area for us. A boater’s paradise. Too many beautiful coves to count. We could spend a whole summer here and never stay in the same anchorage twice.
Our 190 miles on this portion of our journey was pretty equally divided between Kentucky Lake and then narrowed back to river travel. Our 2nd and final lock of this section proved to be a long wait also. 5 1/2 hours later we were thru. Argh! Fifteen miles later we arrived at Grand Harbor Marina at dusk.
ALONG THE WAY:
Sunny, sunny, sunny weather….still.
2 locks, lifting us up 112 feet total.
1 night in a marina.
4 amazing nights on anchor.
Huge full moon!
