Hello Fellow Boaters!!!

The purpose and content of this website is to share boating information with the Chattanooga community.

Our intention is to provide everything the boater needs. This will include information on marinas and restaurants, boats for sale, boats wanted to buy, marine parts needed to buy or sell, marine services including boat repair, canvas, upholstery, etc. We will also include links to Boating stores, TVA & TWRA info, Tennessee boating rules. 

We intend to tell you about lake activities. River bend, July 4th fireworks, the annual color cruise, and downtown activities. Will there be special times recreational boaters can go through the locks? Check the site and find out.

There will also be a forum. This is where we are going to need your input. You can ask or answer a mechanical question. Tell us who worked on your jet ski and did a great job. Alert other boaters to shallow water or straying buoys. Share information about great places to visit up river or down river that we might not have heard about. Tell us your boating horror stories. Share a funny boating story with us.

We want to know what is going on at your marina. Parties, meetings and gossip. We want to know who passed out and got his toenails painted. Who fell in the water yesterday, who flipped their jet ski over while showing off, who bought a new boat. If there's a party at your marina, let us know. We will take some pictures and put them on the website. You will also see a picture of the "inconsiderate boater of the week". We would also like to see your pictures.

Our names are Joyce & Johnny Johnson. We live on our houseboat at Big Ridge Marina. We love everything about boating life and felt there was a need for everyone to be able to share information other than word of mouth. We would love to hear your suggestions and feedback. Please feel free to email us or call 423-843-1964..

Do you want to sell that ugly nautical clock you received for Christmas or those 14 extra lifejackets?  Do you need to buy a beautiful nautical lamp or 14 lifejackets?  How about that used generator, dock box or extra shore power cord?  

We can make a success of this with your help. Everything is free - you have nothing to lose.
