We got an early start after topping off water tanks and pumping out. Headed down the river around 7am, EST. Shortly after leaving Chattanooga we entered back into central time, our internal clocks are so confused! We came upon some pretty dense fog for a little while, but after a short time we hit Nickajack Lock, our first and only lock of the day. The lock master was filling the chamber when we arrived, so after a short wait we were lowered down and on our way. Heading back down river we are trying to cover distance. We stopped a few times to cool off but mostly kept moving all day. Because we were moving at a pretty good pace, and the time change, we arrived at Guntersville Marina around 3. Not bad for a day of 105 river miles! Just as we were getting settled in, we watched a storm move in from across the lake. Perfect timing today! We took showers, did laundry, played some pool in the shower/laundry house, then Erik made shish-kabobs, YUM!!!! We made a quick trip to the store then watched the Guntersville fireworks from the back of the boat. We were both to exhausted to leave the dock to go watch them, but we could see pretty well from the dock. Finishing blogs as my eyes start to get heavy....goodnight moon....😴
