Green Turtle Bay Resort and Marina

We are enjoying our stay at the Green Turtle Bay Resort and Marina.  Again, we meet wonderful people.  A special thanks to local boater Jerry who took us with him and his grandson to church on Sunday and then to the grocery store.

Lake Barkley is beautiful and the scenery and sights are much different than those along the Ohio River.

Not too many of these on the Ohio River!
We spent the past two days cleaning the boat, our clothes,  restocking supplies, and enjoying a break.  We even managed to get the dogs groomed.

Today, by golf cart, we ventured into Grand Rivers, KY,  a small village (about 400 people) sandwiched between Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley. They are known for their huge holiday festival of lights and for Patti's 1880 Settlement, which was voted best small town restaurant in the Southeast United States.

They also have several cute boutique shops.

Tomorrow rain is predicted and we need to fix a broken windshield. So, it looks like it will be Wednesday before we start back on the water. While we are enjoying the stay, we are anxious to get back to our travels.
