Chattanooga To Charlevoix

[Freeebird]

Everything has been confirmed and I'll be headed out this Thursday morning. Looks like I'll have company as far as Paducah, then it's back to oh solo meo. I'd like to have another person for the rest of the trip, but it was just too short a notice. Up until yesterday, I was thinking I was just going as far as Paducah. Anybody have any words of wisdom or sarcasm they would like to impart before I depart?

As always, it would be nice to meet up with any of you HOF'ers on the way. Other than having a deadline (of sorts) of getting the boat to Paducah by the 5th, I'll just be making my way from marina to marina... when possible. Tried finding an updated version of Quimby's today, but no luck. Mine is pretty old to say the least. If nothing else, I'll just pull over and ask directions.

Oh I can't wait to hear the trials and tribulations this will end up being....NOTHING ever goes smoothly for the Bird........

OK, now who wants to go with words of wisdom?

I signed up on ActiveCaptain several months ago but haven't looked at it for inland navigation. Truth is, I had forgotten all about it. Just checked it out, and the only glitch I see is it doesn't seem to show river mile markers. Other than that, it will definitely be a big help in trip planning.

It's just a river. Follow the bank and you get there. No big deal. Stop whining like its complicated. It's not like you are going in the ocean.


be safe and enjoy the ride my friend. I may have a boat going north next year that needs a you. I will let you know if it comes up.
