Earlier this week, George and I returned from a spectacular trip down the Tennessee River with Jack & Middy. It started when we arrived at the boat, the NicAda III, around 7:15 p.m. on July 25th.
The boat is docked on Pickwick Lake, part of the awesome Tennessee River, in Iuka, Mississippi. Since the plan was to be on the boat for several days, there was no need to bring the RV this time so we drove.

We slept on the docked boat that night, and headed down the river to Florence Harbor Marina in Florence, Alabama the next morning.
Come on along with us.
We're ready to go...
...and on our way.
I think this little port hole in our bathroom is cute as
a button although it is a tad bit bigger than a button!
There's Middy, Jack & Geo.
Headed to the front.
"Front" is my nautical term for walking
out to the top part of the boat near the point.
Middy's already up "Front."
A neat paddle boat splashing on by.
A very pretty, green boat passing us.

A Point Pic
"Point Pic" is my nautical term for a pic like
the one above but that's obvious, isn't it?
Homes with big windows and
beautiful views are abundant.
Enjoying the view!
"Enjoying the view" is my nautical
term for, um well, enjoying the view.
Obvious again?
There's Florence Harbor Marina
Look at that monster on the left named Time For us!
Monster is my nautical term for
"Really Gigantic Vessel."

We docked right smack in front of Time For Us.
Look at the difference in the sizes of the two vessels!

We planned to attend the W.C. Handy Music Festival in Florence that night but didn't make it thanks to wimpy me not feeling well. What a bummer, and I love music festivals too! Sorry but you will also have to miss it.
Jack, Middy and Geo watched movies instead.

This deck was to the left of
where we docked at the marina.
I love the reflection in the water!
The marina offered a courtesy van so before
leaving the next day, we drove through
the pretty area just across the harbor.

The RV park is just past the area above,
and it looks like a great place to camp.
I don't know why we didn't get a
few photos when we drove through!
A nice view down the river in
the direction we'll soon be heading.

actual beheading occurred in the taking of this trip.
