Extend Cruise to Gallatin, TN

After a few days and celebrations at Green Turtle Bay It was time to cruise
The Cumberland to Gallatin to visit family.

We said good bye to Pete and Anna - Blue Yonder.

We made our way up the Cumberland River viewing it's beauty and surveying the flood damage.

I decided to start naming the injuries common on the 34' American tug. 'The Ladder' that's the injury you get when you bang the back of your head while climbing the ladder to the upper deck. 'The Duck' (aka Duck Starboard, Duck Port) is the top of the head injury you get from not ducking down far enough to clear a pilot house door. 'The Turtle' is when you head and neck are smahed down into your collar bone area. This occurs when you try to stand up after getting objects out of the rear locker on the side of the bed. Other injuries that occur from hittng the low clearnace area of the stateroom are ' The X Rated'.

I'm currently suffering from The Turtle.

Gallatin Marina is a nice place to stay.

Goodbye Gallatin Marina
