Up anchor and we are off south-bound. Along the bank, we saw this abandoned dock, with a man sitting on the lower part of the roof, fishing! That is the big sport in Kentucky Lake.
We see little commercial traffic, but did note this tug and barges turning around and heading into the Dupont plant. Mostly, we see bass boats. And the river banks are mostly wooded, with very little industrial development.
We are on the migratory path, not just for boaters, but also for white pelicans (shown here) and Canada geese.
We found a nice cut behind an island, just off the main channel. Here, anchored at Rockport Landing, we put the dinghy in and checked out the neighborhood. It’s quite remote, with tree-lined banks on both sides featuring the Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge.
We are starting to see the limestone walls for which the Tennessee River is known.
A Tennessean has claimed this cove for himself!
As the moon rises over Monarch, we have great sleeping, quiet and dark. No trick-or-treaters for us tonight!
