We spent a week in Chattanooga taking care of family business and visiting old friends (no, the friends aren't actually that old). First off, we need to thank again some of our best friends, John & Susan, who graciously opened their "mountain-top motel" for us for our entire stay. They have managed to find us during our travels the past year, no matter where we are along the coast. They have really taken us under their wings since we first met them several years ago.
We visited with some other good friends, Clint & Leigh aboard their new "Barefootin". I had fun getting dirty in Clint's engine room, troubleshooting an issue. We all had "fun" taking the boat out for an hour on the TN River, dodging rain storms all the time. How many times did we pass that dead tree by the red marker?!?
We participated in manning the booth for the Chattanooga Sail & Power Squadron at Erwin Marine's customer appreciation day, and got to see squadron members for the first time in several years. We exchanged "sea stories" ad infinitum, and got to eat free hot dogs!
And finally, we visited several times with Sue's mother, who is holding her own at the memory-care facility. All in all, a good visit
Now, back to boating!
