Bill approached our dock apx. 1000 hrs Friday, 4-20-18. We got him secured and plugged in to the yellow ambilical. Had a GREAT visit with Mr. Bill😁! Check out his blog! I could go on but I’d only be redundant! What a beautiful boat💥😁! Got “Mystery Girl” under way this morning, 4-22-18, to...

Hello Jim, Mike Byrd here. Brother Patrick aka “Byrdman”, alerted me to your anticipated river cruise! I live on Old Hickory Lake, Cumberland River mm233.5 RBA. Wife B and myself enjoy cruising our Cumberland & Tennessee Rivers. Cordell Hull is one of our favorite places to do some slow, quiet...

Hey there Roger! We hope you have as much fun on your cruise as B and I did. Great trip, and much more important, great people along the way!!! :D ...oh yeah, the food! Be safe, Mike & B

Hey Brenda & Bill! Looks doable to link up mid April somewhere around Pickwick! That is a real pretty cruise you are planning! Mike & B

D.D., You might call Garrison Bite back, but my interpretation is, if you are on a BALL for more than the 4 or 5 days you addressed, you must have the secured, deck mounted Waste fitting type arrangment. Let Garrison be the judge. We stayed on the ball while we were there. Might check out or...

D.D., When we were at Marathon we had been using the PETT (take a dump in a bag and throw it in trash) potti. We were going to be there a few days waiting on some friends who wanted to link up with us. The folks at Marathon said they had no ruling at that time on the PETT so, within 7 days, i...

I didn't know you could leave the dock without paper charts, two compasses and a first mate who could use and keep up with both while underway!!! :shock: Even on the inland rivers B keeps track of position and, as a minimum, mile markers. I once asked her if I had a heart attack, where would...

Thanks guys!!! Patrick, you are oh, so correct about the people here, C-Dory or no. Keep us posted on when ya'll will be back in the area, love to get together!
