Diann, end of day, happy hour on Noah Genda aft deck, looper boats in background.


It was such a nice day today, and we are in no hurry (Noah Genda) that we chose to hang out at Goose Pond Resort and Marina. Nice Resort, great golf course, good marina, quiet, relaxing area. We had breakfast on board, we both went for a bicycle ride on well groomed walking/bike path that winds through the woods along the Lake Gunterville, past the golf course, past the lodging facilities and lake side cabins. Weather was beautiful and we really had a great time.




Came back to the boat, used the courtesy car to go for laundry, and a few provisions. When we returned to the boat, we filled with diesel and emptied the holding tank. Fuel consumption remains quite optimistic 2.4 MPG going up & down the Tennessee, best MPG todate, 2.82.


The evening weather was terrific and this marina setting is so quiet, that we opted for cocktail hour on the aft deck. One looper stop by for a few minutes of pleasant conversation and passed on to us a few words of advise from her previous marina visits. Useful tips.




Diann prepared dinner on board, we watched cable TV (provided at transient slips) and I am on WIFI catching up on record keeping and blog.


Rain is predicted for tomorrow (Mon 10/12), however minimal winds, so I think we will venture to Alred Marine Monday, 21 mile trip down river at Guntersville, AL
