7/7/17: McGregor Park City Dock, Clarksville, TN (MM 126) – Riverview Marina/Restaurant, Ashland City, TN (MM 158.2) = 28 NM & 1 Lock

It had been almost 2 weeks since we had done laundry so we decided to go to Riverview Marina/Restaurant for 2 days so we could get chores done. No one wants to do laundry in Nashville.

Again we were right alongside the river so the wakes were aweful! People often complain about the rude boaters in New Jersey but I do believe the locals on the Cumberland River are worse. They would come at full speed within feet of us tied up at the dock. Several small boats that tied up to go to the restaurant were beaten up by the wakes crashing them into the floating dock.

The icing on this cake was the delicious Cat Fish the restaurant serves.

The first night at the dock we heard a loud knocking/banging sound and we thought we had a log under our swim platform, nope, it was large Asian Carp eating the algae off the bottom of our boat. For two days they feasted on the bottom of our boat.
