Happy New Year - from Chattanooga

We made it to Chattanooga today by 3:30pm!!  The generator water  pump was rebuilt last night, and by 7:20am, we cruised out of Terrace View Marina.  After 3.5 hours of traveling in the fog (including Watts Bar Lock), the temperature rose enough to burn off the fog, and we had a gorgeous day!  With all the rain the area has had lately, the Dams are pushing a lot of water down river, so that current helps us move faster than normal.  We cruised right up to Chickamauga Lock and went on through.  The TN Aquarium in downtown Chattanooga was a beautiful site to see!!
Start: TN mile marker 544                    End: TN mile marker 464
Miles traveled today:  80                        Total Locks:  2
Totaled miles traveled:  138  
Days cruising:   3

Entering Watts Bar Lock in fog.
Lots of electronics (especially radar!) allow us to travel in fog.
