With high humidity and chance of thunderstorms, we decided that Gallatin Marina was a lovely place to be. It helped that transient docking was only $.60 per foot. We went for several walks to stretch our legs and to see the beautiful marina grounds
Saturday afternoon I got the dinghy out and went exploring. . Although the marina does not appear to big as you come in, it goes way back into a cove and there are a lot of slips. There are houseboats 9x by 20 feet, large cruisers but there are also a lot of small slips with runabouts and pontoons, and some of everything else in between.
The couple that runs the marina also run a restaurant that is open only Friday night and Saturday and Sunday mornings (until 2:00). It is open only Memorial Day to Labor Day even though the boating season is almost all year around. This allows them to use college help. Saturday morning we had a pleasant breakfast sitting on their patio. Sunday morning we watch a parade of 35 to 50 boats from outside the marina that came in for breakfast. It was a very busy place.
Late Saturday afternoon we had torrential rain and a pretty strong electrical storm, thankfully no strong winds. All the moisture produced thick fog S
unday morning. The spiders seem to be extra active in the fog (maybe it is the high mositure). It burned off quickly but it was humid all day. The lake was wall to wall boats from mid morning to early evening we were happy tied to the slip.
