This is an account of my 652 mile journey on The Tennessee River from Knoxville, through four states, 11 locks and 1,144,000 paddle strokes to Paducah. I will be posting lots of pictures so check back often. I launch my journey on September 6.

"Knot So Fast"
Yep. I named my canoe. Seems appropriate.
Also I have completed the splash aprons. The splash aprons serve several functions:
1. Helps keep the inside of the canoe dry
2. Reduces the surface area of the canoe so the wind catches less surface
3. If I roll the canoe it will retain all of my gear inside the canoe instead of dispersing it all down river
4. Prevents the canoe from getting swamped by a wave
5. Theft deterrent.
6. Looks good
I'm having fun.
