Day 155 Grand Harbor Marina

Ya know those dreams you have when you try to run, but you can't, because your legs are so sluggish -  you are like in slow motion. Well, that's what it's like to boat up the Tennessee River. And the closer you get to the dam, you get more current and it gets slower and more laborious. Passed Shiloh Battlefield (pic 4) - going back there in the marina courtesy car tomorrow. Hard to believe that over 23,000 people perished there in 1862. Had to go through the Pickwick Lock - 54' up. A strong wind and swirling current kept taking the stern off the lock wall and it took every ounce of muscle to keep our bow from cramming into the cement. We managed to get it done with no damage, but we will feel it tomorrow. Finally, we made it to the beginning of the Tenn Tom early this afternoon.  Noticed a huge difference between the housing on the Tennessee River and the homes on Pickwick Lake - pic. 1 (Tenn) vs pic 2 (Pickwick). Not sure the River has any zoning or code enforcement. Free Bird sent us pictures of the Sundowner when they were traveling with us. Still looks good.
