Starting our Loop

We did it!  We finally started our Great Loop.  We left Island Cove Marina, north of Chattanooga, went through the Chicamauga Lock, and motored for two hours to reach downtown Chattanooga.  Now we are tied up at the Bluff Landing floating dock with five sailboats.

Our day started with light rain and cloudy skies.  Now the skies are blue, and we are on our way.  We're right by the Tennessee Aquarium, and we took a nice walk and found Sugar's, a barbecue place for delicious lunch.

After George gets up from his nap, I hope we can walk to Ben and Jerry's for ice cream.  We're so happy to be here:  Chattanooga has a vibrant downtown right at the river.
