A wonderful day spent with family . We awoke and sat around drinking coffee and chatting. Made eggs and bacon for breakfast.
For our boating today we went down through the pass over to Kentucky Lake and boated down to a bay/cove (Nickell Branch) that looked appealing on the maps and Garmin bluecharts. On the way down, we started seeing black smoke billowing up from what appeared to be in the lake. It turned out to be a small runabout boat that had caught fire . We sat and watched for a few minutes as the fire and rescue boats arrived and sprayed it out. Pretty scary. We read online that all 3 passengers got off safely :-)
It was a nice relaxing float for a couple of hours, but not quite as quaint and teaming with wildlife as the cove renee and I had floated in a few days ago. After a time we made our way back North on Kentucky Lake to another smaller cove that was nice also. It still was not as peaceful as the one from the other day because the wind was blowing pretty good (welcomed given the 89 degree temps). After a short while we headed back toward GTB marina to get cleaned up and relax prior to a 7pm dinner reservation that we had made at Patti's.
Patti's was a nice dinner with great atmosphere, their famous 2" pork chops, and a nice walk around their lit up grounds after.
To top the day/evening off we went back to the boat and enjoyed some chatting as well as indulgence in Patti's 8" high meringue pie! Renee had a piece of the chocolate and Dad, Lori, and Erik had the coconut. It was delish! To boot.....we have half a coconut pie and half if Renee's chocolate piece leftover for tomorrow :-)
We will sleep well.....and full.
