Cruising America's Great Loop and other inland routes
View all threadsYes, they are called:
Tenn-Tom 218-320 (MM218 is junction with the
Tennessee)
Tenn-Tom 320-385
Tenn-Tom 385-450 (MM385 is Demopolis)
They're pretty new: the Release Date shows July 2006
I used them the last 3 weeks. No soundings, but
geographically accurate.
The website (as I'm sure you already know) is:
http://chart.tec.army.mil/ChartServerV2.0/jsp/index.jsp
I could not find any IENC charts for the Tennesse
River above the Tenn-Tom junction.

Does anyone know if IENC charts are available from
the Tennessee River to
Demopolis? I have them from Demopolis to Mobile,
but not the upper ones.
Thanks

Thanks, I was able to download them. I ran into some problems which were
system configuration oriented, and still have a problem getting
them installed into Coastal explorer. I do have them working off of CD in
CE which is sufficient for my travels.

Several responded to my request for the IENC charts for the Upper part of
the Ten-Tom. My thanks to each of you, I have had good success and learned
quite a bit.
I am using Coastal Explorer on my laptop and wanted to install the charts
into Coastal Explorer (CE).
My search was plagued by dropped cell phone internet access, using a second
machine that had high speed internet, but did not have the Java scripting
turned on, and going to the wrong USACE web site as far as COMPATIBILITY
with CE.
Once I got it all figured out, it took about a half an hour to download and
install the three charts that I was missing. Thanks again!!

For travelers of the Great Loop, has anyone compiled a list of medical
facilities that could be used along the way if needed? What would you do
if you needed some emergency medical help, such as in the case of a
heart attack? You are away from your home town where you can simply call
911 or drive to the closest (known) hospital. What if you don't
necessarily have an emergency but need some medical care? Where would
you go and how would you know where to go?
Secondly, we would like to attend church services during our trip to
maintain our connection with the Body of Christ. Would be interested to
see any list of churches in stopover towns along the Great Loop.
Thanks

Over time I've thought about this as well... even considered starting a
"Cruisers for Christ" or some such... non-denominational, Christian
group with a burgee maybe... if you see the burgee flying, you would
know that a Bible study will be held on that boat or nearby on a given
Sunday. Wouldn't be a "church" per-se, but a chance to at least meet up
with fellow believers. If nothing else it might be easier to get a
carpool to a local house of worship.
Anybody think that would be of interest?
Not trying to start any wars on the list... please don't go there.

I think you have a great idea there.
"For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in
their midst."
So yes, it WOULD be church !
That would be a great thing to have in anchorages too !

Most local phone directories include the local churches
or other houses of worship in white pages or, in some
cases (if paid for), listings in the classified yellow pages.
Also, you can get information on local towns in MS that
have marinas nearby from the Mississippi Retirement
information.
Start at: http://www.mississippi.org/retire/index.html
It should have links to various towns that are on or
near the Tenn-Tom Waterway.
I haven't been to this website in awhile, but I would
imagine it is still current, as it is an official MS program.

We have cruised from Sanford, FL, to Montreal/Ottawa along the East Coast
and have found that as long as we don't go too remote, that is anchor near a
town or tie up at a town dock, we can almost always find a nearby,
walking-distant Catholic or Epicopalian Church. If one is not nearby, a call
to the church in advance always produces a willingness to provide us a ride.
Local phonebook or internet access helps us locate a church.
Places that immediately come to mind are Brunswick GA, Savannah, Beaufort
SC, Georgetown, Conway, North Myrtle Beach, Morehead City, Oriental,
Portsmouth, Norfolk, St Marys MD, Solomons Island, Cambridge MD, Annapolis,
Sunset Lake near Cape May NJ ... .
A lot of our trip planning was to be near/at a town on the weekend.
