I have this song running in my head today....
We moved aboard the boat last night, had a great sleep with 8 lines tied to the dock!
Windy with thunderstorms forcast for today. Hopefully it will lay down tonight so we can have a good start tomorrow. Just finished stowing things and checking the lists twice. Took a lot of pictures for insurance....some I'll post later.
Spent the evening up on the "Back Porch" inside the new screened enclosure Gary finished this week...absolutely fantastic! We have a neighbor anchored for 3 days ADIOS II...looks like a looper flag!
I'm off to buy our final groceries and paella ingredients for Sonya's Graduation Paella this afternoon....our last earthly commitment!
Wish us well!

They started a burn ban yesterday in LBL due to drought and the leaves falling.

When they dammed Lake Barkley, they did not cut any of the trees first so you find them at anchor

We rode the bikes from the anchorage to the boat show....sore legs after the up's and downs, particularly the gravel up to the highway!
Finally some time for fishing....
....looks like fish on the grill tonight!
