Cold today, had to get out the gloves I purchased the last
time we were in Alabama, no sun, heavily overcast and about 60 degrees all day.
We are moving into the mountains and our anchorage tonight is surrounded by
hills, very quiet and secluded off the river about a quarter mile. We went
through the Guntersville lock about a 30 foot gentle lift. The town of
Guntersville is all around the lake for several miles looks like a great place
to live, but it needs a bit of sunshine, maybe on the way back. One commercial
tow today, Mr. David, when I called and explained I would take the alternate
route through Greenbrier Cove, he said he did not know the area and would call
if necessary when he had visual contact. Many fishermen in their fast bass boats were
present standing in their boats and casting, looks like fun. The scenery is
spectacular, strong vertical cliffs with rock walls, rolling hills covered with
trees, and nicely placed homes. This is our third travel day toward
Chattanooga, looking forward to visiting the town.
Once at anchor, I asked my lovely bride if we could have
chili for supper. She of course was well prepared, had all the ingredients and
began cooking, but the stove ran out of propane, my bad. So we had chili on the
grill, we adapt well.
