Green Turtle to Paris Landing to Cuba Landing
As you can tell, we have been landing in exotic ports the last two nights (Monday 10/19 and Tuesday 10/20.
Paris is always an exotic destination and we are fortunate to be able to be able to visit Cuba as well. Oh, wait - these are both State Park marinas in Tennessee!
Paris Landing was a very peaceful place to stay and we were able to visit with a nice couple on an older trawler that was waiting for some relatives to arrive and serve as additional crew. This was also a location that was a minor Coast Guard base for one of their buoy tending operations.
The scenery on this part of the river system has been different and strangely beautiful with tree-studded shores and rock cliffs and outcroppings along both shores.
Cuba landing was officially closed and while we tied up and hooked up to electricity, there was nobody there to collect our fee. We stayed overnight and hung around long enough on Wednesday morning to pay the nice girl for our $.75 per foot Boat US discounted fee.
It was a dock, had a heated (but somewhat musty head and shower room) and was quiet except for the bass boats that came and went seemingly all night.
The trip downriver continued to be beautiful!
