New Johnsonville

Many people know New Johnsonville for the raid on the supply depot mastered by Nathan Bedford Forrest during the civil war.  Others know of the quality DuPont plant located here.  For boaters it is Pebble Island Marina. A short distance from the site where the Depot sat and across the river from where NBF located his cannons is a great little marina that serves the best catfish for several counties.  We just finished dinner and since there is no cell service here we are having our dessert and sending out our blog at the same time.  Dinner was great but the dessert was a hot brownie covered with ice cream and whipped cream with caramel and chocolate syrup on top.  Boaters have to keep up their energy level!!  We are sitting next to a table of folks from Middle TN and deciding that we know a lot of the same people and we are talking about them.  We departed Paris Landing this morning and it was a wet cold morning but we didn't have any problems with the fuel until about 2pm.  Then it started the same thing as it did yesterday. Well, so much for my analysis of a stopped up filter.  My new theory is an air leak in the fuel line.  Another couple of hours work and I may have it solved.  Did I mention that I wish I had taken a diesel mechanic course before taking the trip.  That's OK.   I'm a hands on learner anyway.  Tomorrow we depart for Pickwick, which is a couple of days away and we may not have connections until we get to the State Park.  Keep up the good thoughts, well wishes and prayers.
