6/28/18 - Thursday - Terrace View Marina (Spring City TN) to Wolf Creek Anchorage (mm578 Tennessee River)

We awoke to the skies opening up with buckets of rain....again!   Fortunately we were in a covered slip so the boat and us stayed nice and dry.
We made omelettes with the leftover fajitas from last night.....score!   The rain let up a little so we went up to the marina office to talk with Mark, the owner, about ordering us a new alternator (starboard engine alternator only reads that it’s putting out 12.7 volts).  He ordered one for us and it will be in when we are on our way through coming back down the river in a few days.
We noticed that there was a Marinette On the docks across from usSo we walked over to talk to the owners were on the boat.  They had just bought their boat last year and were preparing it to live aboard.   They just sold their houseboat and were also selling a house and cars to prepare to travel.
At about 1pm the rain finally moved out and the skies began to clear.   We gassed up and headed on upriver.   We made it a short mileage day (about 45 miles) to an anchorage at Wolf Creek.  It is a beautiful, quiet spot.  Erik fished while Renee studied.  Dinner on the grill (is there any other way to cook on the boat ?).
This is an alternator!!! We think it might be acting up :-(
Whitestone Inn
One of many fishing boats through this area
