Our time at Green Turtle marina -

We have been enjoying our time on land this week.  We have had beautiful weather, sunny days and cool nights. 

Grand Rivers, KY is a golf cart friendly town so we have driven a golf cart from the marina into town.  Our friends from Galena had friends come to visit them here at the marina.  They have a van so we all headed to Patti’s Settlement in Grand Rivers last night for their world famous 2 inch pork chop - very good but we have enough for another meal.  There are about 10 gift shops on the property plus miniature golf and about 4 restaurants.

We took a trip into Paducah today.  The picture above is taken on the two block long mural wall along the river.  It is a beautiful site to see!  5 local volunteer artists painted it.  We also visited the National Quilt Museum.  What beautiful works of art, yet none as beautiful as the quilts my sister Judy makes. 

Ken and I went for a dinghy ride yesterday afternoon into Lake Barkley.  The lake was relatively calm when we headed out but the wind came up and we both got soaked on our way back to the marina.  

 

This marina is called Green Turtle Bay.  If you look at the picture to your left, all those dots are turtle heads. 

The picture below shows the turtles.  If you stand at the end of the dock, they come up to you as if you are going to feed them.

Must be how they decided to name the marina - Green Turtle.

Tomorrow is an in water boat show here which will be fun to wander through.  Sunday we take off down the Tennessee River beginning the next leg of our adventure.

That’s all for now - Pat
