Boat Divided

For the first time, "The Second Noelle" is taking a trip to Knoxville for the Georgia/Tennessee football game.  The boat has only been to Knoxville one time before.  At this time of year "The Second Noelle" is usually departing to head south for the winter.

Someone has to work around here, so Ray is in Murphy, North Carolina while Linda and her mom pulled out of slip CRO5 at Gold Point Marina at 7:45 a.m.  First order of business for the crew was to pump out.  A half hour later we were underway making way.  It was a cool, cloudy morning which really did not warm up until we were near our destination for the night.  Nothing eventful on the 31 mile trip.  We tried pulling off to anchor in a couple places on the Hiwassee River, but finally opted for mile 2.7 where we anchored with friends for the Labor Day weekend.  By 1:30 p.m. the anchor was set and the sun was quite warm.  We spent the afternoon rag tatting and watching the few other folks out on the water.

Boat divided.  Trying to keep peace with the lock masters while still showing our true colors.

These are temporary until we make it through the locks, then they will be carved with G's!
