7/8/2020 – Pebble Isle Marina to Irvin Cobb Marina

After a peaceful and frustratingly internet-free night at Pebble Isle Marina, in New Johnsonville, TN, we left on the morning of 07/08/20, presumably bound for Ken Lake Marina State Resort Park in Hardin, KY. This was another lock-free run in perfect (albeit hot) weather conditions. After a long day of cruising, Steve called Ken Lake to let them know we were almost there, only to be told they were completely full that night and had no space available for us! Steve then looked further down river on the charts and found Irvin Cobb Marina in Murray, KY. Fortunately when he called them, they had plenty of transient space ready and waiting. When we arrived, we had three different marina reps standing on the dock waiting to catch and cleat our lines for us. This was a charming little marina named for American author, humorist, editor and columnist, Irvin Shrewsbury Cobb who gained notoriety in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and hailed from Paducah, KY. We could tell they rarely received larger boats at their marina, so our arrival was a novelty, and all were very complimentary of Legacy.
