Loosing track of my days...

So, "earlier in the week"....

Was told that there was a beach just around the corner.... 

3 miles later using the dinghy we found it...

Elwood flying along in the dinghy.... he prefers to be low when going fast...

Joell and the pooch getting their feet wet...

I elected to swim in the clear blue water of the Joe Wheeler Resort Pool....

"yea baby"

Keep your hat on and it gets a good cleaning :-)

Doing a little fishing...lots of catfish here...no limit...

Decided to ride into Rogersville.... after several miles I got a flat....

Found a couple tiny holes on the rim side of the inner tube.  Our Looper friends from Wisconsin, Myron and Linda were biking with us and went on to town.  They quickly found a new tube for me "3 bucks"....all fixed now...

That was a long walk back!!!

Here's Bob Cushman (Commodore) and Joell at the Wheeler Yacht Club dinner party. It was held on one of the long covered docks.  They had over 40 members show up.... Pulled pork, chicken and all the fixings.

"Sucking Carp"

I asked Commodore Bob what these lights were for.... He took us over to one that was lit and we saw a bunch of Gar Fish swimming at the waters surface.  Bob said that the Carp spend all night banging against your boat, eating any growth that's on the hull and make a god awful thumping noise. Since Gar Fish and Carp don't get along, the Carp stay away from the boats and the marina tenants get a quiet nights sleep!  Commodore Bob said it took them quite awhile to figure this out.

  

This flag is presented to a person that has fallen off the dock or tripped up while on the floating docks.
