Wednesday
Miles Traveled 10.4
Total Miles Traveled 459
Day 14
Our original plan was to leave Chattanooga early and head down the Tennessee River to Nickajack Lock & Dam. We met several very nice people this morning associated with the Great Loop and talked about different marinas, boats, and Chattanooga. I also checked the fuel prices around the surrounding marinas and found diesel fuel at Chickamauga Lake was $2.02 gallon, that’s the lowest price anywhere in the Midwest. Chickamauga Marina was only about 8 miles upriver, so we decided to go there instead, top off our tanks, and anchor out tonight.
About 3 miles from the Dam, the current started to increase, and our speed dropped about 2 mph.
We spent the afternoon relaxing, planning our next few
days on the river……and updating our blog.
Chattanooga is a great town and is defiantly a place we will return to
someday.
