Colby,
Our analysis shows a driving distance of 388 miles via Highway 64/24. Most of that is Freeway driving, and should be fast (as fast as we run--which is 55 to 57.).
We are familiar with this route, since it is part of the trip from our home to our farm in Illinois.

We do have an advantage of two drivers, but we stop every 2 hours to switch drivers, inspect the rig, and do temp checks on the wheel bearings. If we get underway by 9 AM. We should be in Granville Marina by about 5 PM (8 hours). Launch should be quick. We may try and be underway by 8.

I'm showing 405 miles, which is fairly close to the 388. I may have to make a stop at STL to drop Rosanne off for her to fly back home. Unless we find a C-Brat at the gathering that lives in our neck of the woods that she can ride home with. I plan 15 minute stops every 2 hours, but still manage to take an hour or two longer during the day. Probably longer stops or more frequent. Yesterday I drove 470 miles, and left at 8am stopping for the night around 6p. (10 hours, using my Wisconsin time. lol). Some days just take me longer...lol. While I drive at 65mph, my average day works out to about 50 mph. So I plan 10 hours for a 500 mile day, and that works out pretty well.) I may take a look at that marina planned for the first night along the trip. All things to do later. Today I plan to get to my brothers house south of Seattle and get the boat cleaned back up for the boating planned in the next 6 weeks! Very Happy Colby

Sorry for my spelling.

Yes, it is Granville (Wildwood) Marina, not Grandville.

Wow Bob and Marie.

Good on you and your stamina to go the additional 185 NM up the Tennessee from Chattanooga to Knoxville! I got pooped out by the time I saw us getting to Chattanooga. Very inspiring.

Sure beats a 3500 mile passage across an ocean at 6 knots! We will probably poke along that last few miles. Let Marie cast a few minnows etc...

I've done both the Cumberland and the Tennessee in 2016-2017 and have both of the guide books that Jerry Hay sells. I seem to have maybe already given away the Tennessee one ( cruise 2016) but have 2 of the Cumberland ,one from 2012 ( a cruise that fell thru) and other from 2016 (cruise that I made) and would be glad to send to a intended cruiser. I'm planning a cruise on the Erie and cross at Oswego into Canada and then a loop on the Rideau ,down the Ottwa ,down the St.Lawerence to Sorel, up the Richelieu back into the USA ,across Lake Chamberlain into the Champlain canal and back across the Erie to my starting point in early July. Any help on the Tennessee - Cumberland I can help with give me a shout.Both (rivers)are well marked and I also have a 2015 Quimbys that I'd be glad to offer. Kinda think, although I had charts, your on board electronics are enough. I've got Garmin and Radar and spent for charts but didn't really use them! Happy Cruisin !

Bob, nothing definite, but would you enjoy another boat continuing on with you if I decided to tag along? Colby

Jim

Thanks for your kind offer of the charts. I have already purchased the guides for both the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers.

Your Erie Cannal cruise sounds great. I will be interested in reading about that trip.

Best,
Jim
