Mark and Gary checked in today from Paris Landing State Park Marina, Paris Landing, Tennessee. They cruised 140 miles and went thru the Pickwick Lock which came down 55'. They did have about 15 miles of "rough" waters (not usual for the river) but they were going with the current (downstream) and winds were against the current making for strong waves and unpleasant conditions!
Interesting house along the way...
Catrina cruising with Tennessee on the left; Mississippi on the right; and Alabama straight ahead
Paris Landing is at the very southern end of the Land Between the Lakes (Grand Rivers is at the northern end). Their gloomy day gave way to sunshine and tomorrow, only 45 miles to their destination of Grand Rivers, KY where they'll leave Catrina. Mark and friend, Mark return on May 10th to resume the rest of the trip.
Last night at Pickwick Landing, they asked the lady at the marina about a good place for dinner. She named the restaurant and said this is "Crazy Chicken" night - a buffet full of chicken prepared every which way imaginable. So, they enjoyed their dinner and all the chicken dishes. Tonight they are in Paris Landing and the marina lady said "Oh, tonight we have "Crazy Chicken" night"..........ooooooook! What's with all this "crazy chicken" in Tennessee? HA!!!
Catrina docked at Paris Landing, Tennessee
I officially started therapy (since I'm home w/the pros) today - Jim was my buddy and what a nice guy - very gentle but we chatted all the while he's moving the arm/shoulder ever so gently up, up higher, higher and straight out and here, there and wherever he could take it without me wincing, making faces, etc. Actually, it did hurt, but nothing unbearable and overall....felt good to have some movement and he was happy with the range I have at this point. Definitely still freezing going on, but hoping to correct that with time and therapy. I was iced down for 20 minutes and then on my way.
Judy (Gary's wife) had taken me to the clinic and then we had lunch at Jim's Steakhouse - yummy, delicious, scrumptuous Petite Maurice salads wtih Brittany dressing (local favorite for many years)!
Judy and Pat
