Danny had noticed a different sound in the engines, so he had asked one of the marina exhibitors at Rendezvous to come to our boat and see what he thought. His guess was a baffle in the muffler. Since we would pass Grand Harbor Marina today, and there isn't another large marina for several days, we decided to pull in and call a mechanic to come out tomorrow.
Grand Harbor Marina is at mile 450 of the TENN-TOM, where it ends at the Tennessee River. As we approached, we turned onto Yellow Creek and ended our travels on the Tennessee River. (We will travel a much shorter section as we come down from the Great Lakes next fall.) Living in Knoxville for 30 years, we had been familiar with TVA, of course. But traveling on its lakes and river for 398 miles on this trip has made us so much aware of its scope and impact.
Grand Harbor has a courtesy van with a decorative wrap, so we borrowed it to go into Corinth to WalMart, where else? We had been to Corinth on our Shiloh tourist day and eaten at Crossroads Rib Shack at the recommendation of a local gentleman. It was so good we decided to go again! The WalMart did not have our favorite beverage, but we did buy some groceries and the equipment to clean the Isenglass. Boy, am I excited!
Lots of Looper boats at Grand Harbor, but we didn't join the docktails. Driving and shopping had worn us out! Being on the water is so easy and stress free!
