Day 64, October 5th, 2009
Up early, we got underway around 7:45, setting off for Pebble Isle Marina. Weather was overcast again and coolish. I was wearing my fleece and all-weather gear and even John put his all-weather pants on and fleece jacket! We had been on the phone a couple of days earlier and priced a couple of marinas in the area, with the plan of leaving the boats for a couple of days while we visited Nashville. Pebble Isle Marina came up trumps with a great deal on a week's stay for $3.50/boat foot. 2.5 days free!!!
We arrived around 12:30 and found quite a fair sized marina and trailer park in a well protected little cove. Lots of Loopers!!! Some we have already met and new ones too. They announced a pot-luck supper was in the works and welcomed us to join them! This place has a courtesy car that you can borrow any time for supplies etc. We had a short trip into Waverly for groceries and got home just in time for a delicious supper.
Do you see that lovely Nordic Tug directly behind us? That's the Potest Fieri out of Thunder Bay, Ontario! Jim Massey wrote us an e-mail about 6 weeks ago, telling us to watch out for them along the route!!! The boat is all closed up tight. We thought at first we'd get to meet them but we heard at the supper that they have gone home to Thunder Bay for 5 weeks for the birth of a grandchild. Maybe we'll meet up later on.
