Goose Pond Marina!


We are back at Goose Pond Marina hanging out for a few days before heading to Joe Wheeler State Park Marina for the Great Loop Rendezvous. 


After leaving Island Cove Marina up river from Chattanooga, we headed down river and back to our beautiful anchorage of Little Cedar Mountain.  When we arrived, “Tellico Lady”, a boat we had met earlier in our travels was already anchored.  After dropping anchor and getting settled, Brenda and Ken from “Tellico Lady” invited us to dinghy over for cocktail hour.  We did just that and had a wonderful evening visiting.  They had done the Loop in 2009/2010 and it was fun to hear the stories of their adventures and get some tips on marinas to stay in.  That is “Tellico Lady” in the pictures below.  20BUCK$ is in the picture above under a rainbow.  A little to the left and the Pot of Gold would have been in the boat!














We arrived Friday night at Goose Pond Marina and enjoyed a lovely dinner and sunset at the “Docks” restaurant across the street.
















We are enjoying some land time and will stock up on groceries and get laundry done before we leave here on Wednesday.   The weather is beautiful, still high 70’s low 80’s and lows in the 50’s.  They are predicting a frost for this area the end of next week.  Fall colors are not yet peak.  Hopefully by the time we head down river further the trees will be more colorful.   We did buy a little pumpkin to decorate the boat for Halloween.


Tonight I will watch my first Viking game of the season as it is nationally televised.  Hoping it is a good game.  Go Vikes!  Pat
