Calling Woodsong!

Hey Woodsong,

Any TN river lore to share with us land locked power boaters in NE GA? I know you are not on the Mississippi and you are not Mark Twain but how about a little something for those who live Vicariously through you the Monk your blog and a great section of the loop?

We know the boat has been in ship shape condition since March or April stop holding back... I hope to visit the TN river valley this summer. I already crossed off Panama City and Destin Florida as trailer boat destinations this year and had an awesome time (Many thanks to GColton for advice).
How about a Woodsong travel guide to the TN river around Chattanooga or where ever you have been roaming?

Jason,
You should definitely come bring your boat up to the TN River to explore! We have just been gunkholing around the local coves and stuff. We spent about 2 weeks down in FL and just got back a week or so ago- kids had finally just gotten out of sports for the summer so we went to the beach! The Monk has really been doing good. I am about to upgrade to new vacuflush heads and may be swamping out my battery bank and finally installing the inverter I have- darned if when I get up to the boat the coin toss of whether to stay at the dock and work on small projects or go anchor out always seem to land in favor of casting the lines and dropping a hook!
One thing about the TN River we have noticed is how UNCROWDED it is compared to Lanier! Night and day difference and MUCH more peaceful. No more loud/obnoxious rap music in every cove which is great. Except up here they are not called coves, they're called "slough" which is pronounced like "slew." I still haven't figured out WHY they call them that but they do. I still call them coves but my 8 year old son has a fun time saying "slew."

I'll post some new pics in a minute but here is a quick video from this past Monday....took the kids "tubing," trawler style AKA- pull them behind the trawler on our way to our favorite cove with them in the kayak instead of a tube!

Well it is good to hear all is well... I like the transom lettering I don't think I saw it before. I bet the kids love tubing trawler style.
Steer clear of the storms out there. I just came back from the lake and there was a nasty storm that blew in from your direction. I planned to watch the fire works at sunset cove tonight but the weather made me turn in and come home.
