Our traveling buddies on Golden suggested we get
going this morning about 8 (around sunrise), Tim went by their boat at 7:30 and
they indicated they were ready, but could wait.
We scrambled a bit and were ready in about 15 minutes. We had come up this section of the river on
Sunday with lots of bass boats milling about that we did not want to wake. Today's travel which started out amidst 42
degree temperatures and it being midweek, help keep the fisherman on
shore.
Dockers is known for their 'shrimp & grits' and they did not disappoint.

We traversed the Nickajack lock
without delayed. In total, our run today
was 86 miles with the river current to Goose Pond Marina. We arrived at 4:00,
having gained an hour heading back into central time zone. There was a long narrow channel running off the Tennessee River into the marina and we were told stay right in the
middle of the channel. It was a great
spot to do a little laundry on shore and take advantage of the bigger
machines. This location is known for
having a great restaurant nearby - Dockers.
On the way into the restaurant we caught a great view of the sunset
(looked like Hawaii).
