Our favorite season has arrived! A week into the summer season and we've already had so much fun and sun. Our hiking buddies were in town; we found an easy shady trail to hike at Raccoon Mountain. The view of the Tennessee River Gorge from atop the Visitor Center never fails to awe us.

After a pizza lunch at the marina, we went floating on the river. The water was so refreshing on a hot summer day. We took our fresh-off-the store kayaks with us. Oh what fun!

The next day, another boater friend invited us to go out. We never say no to a boat ride.

That same evening, the marina gang welcomed a new boater to our docks. It was a "seize the moment" opportunity to move the boat, so she and her dad arrived late and in the dark, literally, as our marina had lost power to some wicked lightning just an hour prior. Thank goodness there was a full moon. What a sweet and exhilarating adventure for both father and daughter. Welcome to the neighborhood, Elise!

ReplyDeleteThe Mai Thai crew always have fun on the water. Fresh, brackish, or salt. That river looks sooooo inviting.

One nice think about being on fresh water is swimming and paddling. I like that much better than salt water, but if it is really hot at an anchorage I'll go in. - Margy
