Lake Barkley, KY -Sept 26 & 27

Spent a much needed day on Friday at the marina. Steve replaced the distributor caps and rotors on both engines which seemed to take care of a vibration which began on the Ohio River. (We were afraid we may have damaged a prop - so this is good news since we didn't have to have the boat pulled out of the water) We washed the muddy Mississippi off the boat and cleaned the inside. The Pura Vida is looking fine once again. In the afternoon we went to the pool at the marina and went for a dinghy ride to check out the huge houseboats. Many people come to this area to rent houseboats to enjoy the beautiful lakes. 

On Saturday we headed over to Buzzard Rock Marina also on Lake Barkley. This is a much smaller marina than Green Turtle Bay in a beautiful setting. We took a bike ride to scope if there are any local churches that we could bike to on Sunday. After many large hills, we turned back unsuccessful.

At night we enjoyed listening to the band on the deck from the marina restaurant while sitting on the back of our boat.
