Re: Chattanooga To Charlevoix
Bird flies true to form. Randy, do you even know HOW to run a boat on two engines? doesn't it feel kind of weird, that you don't have to keep cranking the wheel to make it go straight?
Seriously, have a good trip and why haven't you posted any photos? Especially the ones of you pretzeled into the engine room?

Re: Chattanooga To Charlevoix
Arrived at Green Turtle Bay Marina a little while ago, took on fuel, pumped the holding tank, and got tucked into our slip awaiting a mechanic who I hope is a little feller. I'll see if I can get some pics up later along with some video that'll keep "some" of you from kidding me about being a river boater.
Got another HOF'er coming over for dinner, and we'll be heading out out bright and early tomorrow. Gotta pull out the charts and figure out where we'll end up.

Video of Wilson Lock in Florence, AL. Took seven hours to lock through that day, a new record for me which I hope stands for a LONG time.

Sounds windy but doesn't look too bad. I ran across Lake Ontario in 7'-10' seas. Took a few pictures and it looked like a beautiful day on the boat. Hard to capture seas on camera.
