Chattanooga

As we got closer to Chattanooga, the  river housing improved.

When Bret and I did the Tennessee River, our schedule didn't allow us to stop in Chattanooga.  Since then, the city has done a lot to clean up the waterfront, and entice boaters to stop. 


We're tied up to a dock in front of the Tennessee Aquarium, and we intend to spend the day there tomorrow.  We are the middle of the three boats in this photo.

Here's a pretty cool museum overlooking the river.

This is either a killer skateboard course, or a handicapped access to the river.  Either way it's a heck of a ride.

When I was in the sailboat business, I thought that used up sailboats went to our local sailing club to grow old and die.  I never really thought about where used up stern wheelers would go to grow old and die.  But here you are.  The Delta Queen is no longer able to ply the rivers and is now used as a floating hotel.
