Yesterday's blog was a brief paragraph indicating we anchored for the night at Panther Bay, which is a remote, secluded bay off of Kentucky Lake. Our cell coverage was very minimal, so we could not upload a regular blog with photos. Therefore, yesterday and today's blog are being uploaded as one entry.

whipping up waves, causing the boat to roll from side to side.
As we listened to the Bengals football game, we passed beautiful scenery. The area between Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake is well know as the Land Between the Lakes and is inhabited by a wide range of wildlife including armadillos, bison, elk and river otters.
Despite the rough ride, Denise was able to make a taco salad.
After traveling 33.1 miles south on Kentucky lake, we anchored in Panther Bay. It's a beautiful, secluded area. There were only a couple fishermen in the bay, who left by evening, and we were treated to a nearby flock of American White Pelicans.
After a cool night that got down to 55 degrees in the boat, we ran our generator and electric space heater to get the temperature up to 70 degrees before preparing breakfast. At this point we're not in a hurry to get anywhere quickly, so after breakfast we traveled about six miles south and pulled into Paris Landing Marina, which is also a state park. The cost, including electricity, water hook-up, laundry, showers and restroom is only $22.00 a night, so we may be staying more than one day.
The first of the large group of looper boats headed south from Chicago, has reached Paducah. When we were there last week, only four boats were tied to the city dock. Based on a photo one of the loopers uploaded today, at least nine boats are tied up, which is pretty much the capacity for that dock.
