Jean and I really did some gallivanting yesterday. We were given, for a Christmas present, two tickets for an eagle tour aboard the CQ Princess. We left the Kenlake Marina at 11 a.m. Saturday, rode under the Egner Ferry bridge to the north, and went up the east side of the river about 100 feet off the shoreline. We saw 32 eagles on our ride down the river, plus lots and lots of Great Blue herons, gulls, and coots.
We had an incredible meal on our cruise. Pork tenderloin, smothered chicken, seasoned potato wedges, sauteed vegetables, penne pasta salad, tossed salad, fresh fruit, and dinner rolls. For dessert we had a piece of Kentucky Derby pie that would just melt in your mouth!
We would have liked to have gotten up close and personal with the eagles, but we were told that the boat would scare away the eagles had we gotten any closer. The weather could not have been more perfect, and the couple that joined us at our table, a retired pediatrician and his wife, from Paducah, were very nice people. All in all, it was an enjoyable three hour trip on a very nice boat.
