Angel Louise waiting for us.
This is a park literally between two lakes (actually reservoirs).
To back up a bit - when we got back from our shopping trip Monday night, we discovered 5 boats had arrived! 4 of them we have traveled with in the past and one, Daydream, we have been waiting to meet as they are from Birch Bay! They trailered their 25 foot C-Dory to Florida where they will close their loop in a month or so. They will then trailer it back to Washington in time for Christmas.
We all visited for a short time before bed. So sad we were departing in the morning, so I got as many pictures as I could before the sun set.
Some of the friends that caught up with us.
Pharm Life was docked next to us in New Bern, NC in April. They are both pharmacists.
New friends, Byron and Cynthia, on Bright Angel. These are Gold Loopers who have completed the loop once and are going around again.
Our dock - now full of Loopers!
This is not a looper boat, but was docked next to us. A captain was taking it to its owners in Florida. WOW!
In the morning, Bob filled our water tank, disconnected the power, and had the holding tank pumped out before we left at 8:30 while I said good-bye to everyone.
It was a beautiful but short passage to our anchorage down the lake.
Leaving Green Turtle Bay
After a cloudy, wet Monday, Tuesday appears to be shaping up beautifully!
Interesting cliffs on this beach
We went through a short cut between the two lakes.
One of the many bays along The Land Between the Lakes. Some are too shallow to anchor in.
We stopped in Ewes Bay - and Angel Louise was there ready to have a rematch on Jokers and Marbles. We had a great visit with them on their catamaran that they have been cruising on for 10 years. They've taken her to Europe and did the Loop there! Wonderful couple even if Ed and Bob trounced Sue and I in Jokers, TWICE, and then Ed promptly beat us all in a round of Chicken Foot.
Angel Louise left in the morning....
...and we had the bay to ourselves (well - a few fishermen that come and go)
We had a quiet, HOT day. It's in the 90's this week. Too hot for us, especially with no air conditioning unless we run the generator, which we did for a few hours in the evening to make sleeping more comfortable. We'll leave in the morning to our next anchorage and more heat! Blessedly, cooler weather should arrive in about a week. Not soon enough! The water looks too murky for swimming but we may try it this afternoon. Bob has to drop the dinghy to get at our swim step for that so not sure.
I haven't posted houses for a while so I'll leave you with these.
Anchored in Ewes Bay 9/19-9/20
