By midnight last night it was very foggy and when we got up this morning there was less than 1/8 mile of visibility. The picture of the 49 foot trawler on the dock in front of us was taken after the fog began to lift and they were off a few minutes later and we were not too far behind them. Along with all the moisture and no wind the spiders had a very busy night. The picture is just one of about a hundred webs on the boat this morning.
The fog was clearing rapidly and we were underway by 8:45. The river was narrow with just a few fishermen for about twenty miles, then we went thru the Cheatham Lock and the whole river changed. We caught up with the River Girl, the boat docked in front of us last night, a nice
couple from Charlotte, NC. They had been ahead of us but the lock wasn’t ready so we caught up with them.Above the lock the banks were lower, the reason is too lengthy for this blog, and there were lots of campers (trailer and tent) for about a mile.
There was a lot of pleasure boat traffic and the river was very busy on a lovely Sunday afternoon. The temperature was in the upper 80s, light winds and less humidity than we have seen in weeks.
A couple hours above the lock is a brand new condo, marina complex, Harpeth Shoal marina and Braxton Condos. The marina is just completed and they hope to start occupying the first condos in August. The only thing missing
at the marina was they weren’t setup to charge transients yet, another free night.All in all a spectacular day.
