Day 1 – We’re Off – Headed to Nashville! – October 26, 2014

We got up EARLY…for those of you who know me, I don’t like early!  Cleaned, went to Wal-Mart, stocked the boat, got the batteries and charger installed and left the marina around 1:30 pm.  We have downloaded an app to help with navigation but we don’t have GPS on our iPads so we will be relying on the paper maps we have…oh, and the Garmin from the car (which only gives directions if you are driving on a road)!  Praying for no technical difficulties, good weather, and that we don’t get lost!

Captain Mike!

We moved along with no problems and enjoyed a wonderful day.  Did I mention we had never been through a lock before?!  Made it through with no problems at all.  Mike thought the whole lock thing might scare me but it was AWESOME!

Approaching our very first lock ever!

So, yeah, that’s a lot of pics of just one lock but I always want to remember the first one!

And so we come to the end of our first day…no issues, beautiful day, and totally exciting!
