Chattanooga to Kingston, TN

This morning, we left Chattanooga early. There was a lock a few miles away from our Chattanooga dock to start our day and another lock in the afternoon. In our second one, we lost a fender- again! This time, it didn't pop, it fell off (and, again, it wasn't my fault!) and was floating around in the lock with us. Before the gates opened, the lock employee hooked it for us and got it back to us! Hooray!

At our anchorage, the kids jumped in and swam for a bit. There was zero current and the water was warmer than bath water. They tried to get Hattie to swim with them, but she didnt want to. Moose grabbed her and threw her in at one point and she immediately got back out. I guess she wasn't a fan when she fell into the water a few weeks ago!


Locks today: 2
Locks of the summer: 22
