The Cumberland River

We left our anchorage on the Ohio at 8:00 AM and began the arduous task of continuing upstream, against the 3-4 knot current and on constant watch for logs and deadheads...It rained on and off all day and although, up to this point, the Cumberland River isn't nearly as impressive as the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, we have seen more eagles than on any other stretch of the rivers...The Barkley Lock and Dam lifted us an impressive 57' and we then entered a beautiful, serene lake on the other side... Today we will spend much of the day organizing, re-grouping, cleaning, doing laundry and shopping. The town that we are near is Grand Rivers, Kentucky...it is at the northern entrance to Land Between the Lakes. I'm sure I'll have more to blog about in a day or two as we intend to set out and explore the area both on bikes and dinghy over the next few days. Don't forget to check out the videos I'm posting on YOUTUBE!
