Day 12
The wind picked up last night and although we were anchored with a current holding the boat along the shore of the island, the wind swung the boat around, heading us downstream. We twisted and turned for awhile but our anchor held tight. I can’t say enough about the Rocna anchor we selected for “ Moni Jean”. We also have an anchor alarm that uses a GPS signal to track our position, if we swing outside of a predetermined radius of the anchor an alarm goes off……that you will not sleep through.
We kept looking for Bob on Williams Island, but only saw
these bathing beauties as we were leaving this morning. Moo! Where's Bob?
We had a short cruise to Chattanooga this morning and
tied up to the Riverfront Dock located at the heart of downtown.
We found this guy waiting for us at the dock.
Just kidding…………
We walked to town for lunch, and then walked a half block to the Tennessee Aquarium. The Tennessee Aquarium is a non-profit public aquarium. When it opened in 1992, the River Journey building was the largest freshwater aquarium in the world. It was established as part of the revitalization of the Chattanooga Riverfront. The Tennessee Aquarium's River Journey and Ocean Journey buildings are home to more than 12,000 animals including fish, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, birds, penguins, butterflies, and more.
We spent all afternoon going through both buildings. An escalator takes you to the top of the building, and a sloped walkway meanders through all of the exhibits to the ground floor. If you are within driving distance of this aquarium, it's a must see.
We had a great day, looking forward to another day at Chattanooga. "Moni Jean" is the boat in the middle of the picture.

Good to see an island named after me, probably named after one of my ancestors, it is such a rare name lol, great blog keep up the good work.
Thanks Bob! We couldn't resist using you for a little humor on the blog, hope everyone cracked a smile.
Glad to hear that the Rocna is working out well. Now that you beta-tested for us ;-) we'll be wanting to get one also. Only problem is..... I don't remember what size you got for the 390, which is the size that would suit us also.
Aren't you trawler Joe now :). We have the 44 lb Rocna, thanks for checking it out for us at Norfolk. Sorry to hear you won't be at Joe Wheeler. Maybe next Summer we can get together. By the way, nice boat!
Great pic, Fil & Mil! :)
