Nature walk and dinghy ride!

Enjoying some land time with a nature walk!  Early morning dew on a beautiful golf course.

Today we went for a dinghy ride, 20 miles up river to Muddy Creek and had lunch at the Muddy Creek BBQ.  I feel like a broken record but this is a gorgeous part of the Tennessee River!  Guntersville Lake which is the section we are on is really loaded with Milfoil in parts shown by the green line on the picture below.

Tonight we have been invited to dinner at the home of the Harbor Host Ray and Patsy on the “Patsy Ray”.  They have hosted over 80 loopers in their home for dinner.  They have never completed the Loop themselves but have done many sections multiple times.  There will be 5 couples at their house for dinner tonight!  How wonderful to have a home cooked meal by someone other than me!! 

One of the couples has done the Loop twice and has been living aboard now for 6 years in a boat very similar to ours.  The other couple spends the summers up here and the winters in Marathon in the Florida Keys. 

Tomorrow is laundry day and then we leave for Chattanooga Saturday morning.  We will catch up with y’all when we hit Chattanooga!
