I've heard good things about that club, I haven't been in years but have heard the new clubhouse is very nice.
If you are ever sailing up towards the island and see a 22 oday be sure to wave
Good luck with your trip. Great way to see the USA at a relaxed pace. Hope you don't mind swapping the open ocean for the more confining Rivers and lakes in Tennessee. If you feel that way and happen to like Country Music, Just put on the Song, John Deere Tractor, by the Judds
I know it's been awhile since I've posted so here is my update! We are currently at Grand Harbor marina at lake Pickwick. We will leave Monday morning heading to Florence. We are hoping the storm will have passed by then. At our current location we are expecting rain but not much else. We have been able to use a courtesy car to get provisions. We also met a very nice couple that we went to dinner with. I guess that is what I've enjoyed the most; meeting great people.
The boat has certainly become a second home and we show her off whenever we can. Scott tolerates my girlish need for pretty and cute. Mermaid pillows and a newly purchased mermaid doll. We have plans for making a new table when we get home. We were also given a small tabletop that will work perfectly in back of the sink. We just have to find the right hinge for it.
Now, let's talk dams! As many of you may know, we had trouble in the first two dams causing injury to the transom. We will need to have fiberglass repairs and possibly a protective stainless steel strip. After the first two dams and a little help from friends...we have done well....my new title is bollard queen! We are using the jib sheet block to tie up and keep the boat at midship....works like a charm! We have five dams left before we get home. I have a bottle of champagne ready!

I went to the Dam to ask the Dam man for a glass of Dam water. The Dam man said I couldn’t have any Dam water, so I went home and got a glass of my own Damn water.
Sorry but i terrioized my grand parents with this 50 some years ago! Every time I hear Dam it comes back.

We made it through the last dam and wouldn't you know it...the dam engine quit! We sailed to our home port, picked up our dog, and now relaxing! The dam boat will wait til tomorrow
Hello all,
It is so strange being home. Both Scott and I feel a bit disjointed....today I made my new table for our boat. I like it so much better than either table that came with the boat. I am posting pictures for you. Also. Engine is up and running. We changed out the filters again. So far, so good! Thank you all for your support.
