The Captain discovers a SECOND town named after him ... and also spelled correctly!
Looper trawlers take over the transient dock at Green Turtle Bay Marina, Kentucky.
And where there are Looper trawlers, there are docktails. We all voted this the "Most Social Year of Our Lives"!
We say goodbye to Green Turtle Bay Marina and excitedly anticipate the next few days of anchorages ahead.
Our first anchorage on Kentucky Lake is at Duncan Bay, one of many peaceful, serene settings.
After the anchor is set, Spiritus' crew goes for a refreshing swim.
Can you find The First Mate, doing her synchronized swimming imitation, in the picture below?
Ginger Cove is our second anchorage. After our swim, it's time for a toast to the good life!
Watching a spectacular sunset from Spiritus' flybridge, the Captain comments on how his dream came true.
For many years, Eddy flew over the "Land Between the Lakes" & dreamed of cruising our Spiritus on beautiful Kentucky Lake.
Our third anchorage, Harmon Creek, is another perfect stop for the Spiritus crew.
We never get tired of watching sunsets from Spiritus. Doesn't God do great work?
It's time for Spiritus to fill up her water tanks & get fuel so we stopped at Pebble Isle Marina.
It was fun to reunite with some of our Looper friends and share stories of our individual anchorages.
Adjacent to our marina is the Johnsonville State Historic Park.
We enjoyed an afternoon hike in the park and treated ourselves to some history!
We followed hiking trails to the upper and lower redoubts.
We checked out a soldier's hut used during the Civil War. Nine by nine is not a lot of space for 2 soldiers!
The Civil War soldiers certainly did not have any of the creature comforts of home.
These deer were as surprised to see us as we were to see them!
It's amazing how beautiful our anchorages have all been. Makes us want to stay on the water forever!
