We had a great day of mostly relaxing and exploring Kentucky Lake today. Some conversations were had with Richard, Captain of Semper Fi, while pimping holding tanks before departing Kenlake Marina this morning. Later in the afternoon we had a good talk with the Captain of Bright Angel. Both are live aboard boaters and Loopers.
We explored a couple of coves / bays on Kentucky Lake. The favorite for us was Vickers Bay. It was very secluded and as we entered there was a deer along the bank. Another one made an appearance and walked along the shore getting pretty close to us a bit later. We also saw a raccoon doing the same shoreline walk, several herons, and a whole mess of large fish (we think bass ??) Swimming in the nice waters around the boat. We floated around a bit and gave the outside of the boat a wash down. On our way back up towards Green Turtle Bay (where we will be meeting Dad and Lori tomorrow ) we stopped through another bay/cove that had a boat ramp and dock and let Toby off. This cove had campsites all around it with great views.
We also spoke with Dennis, owner of Sunset Harbor Hill Marina and finalized plans to leave the boat there in a slip through Labor Day weekend when they will then pull the boat, strip and paint bottom, and put into dry storage for the winter. Nice to have those arrangements solidified!
When we arrived back to Green Turtle Bay we paid for our slip through Saturday morning . We then utilized their courtesy vehicle to drive to Paducah where we went to Walmart for some provisions and attended an AA meeting. Back to the marina to shower , cook and eat (another late dinner at 9pm!). We also have added several issues to the 'things to do list'/issues on the boat......you know......B.O.A.T (bust out another thousand!). Our hot water heater does not seem to be heating, our water pump started leaking pretty badly again. Looks like we'll have our work cut out for us tomm morning while we wait for Dad and Lori arrival (supposed to be about noon).
