It felt SOooo good to sleep in this morning! No schedule, no early departure, no tow boats to watch for. We spent the day getting settled in, ordering parts and making plans to have the bow thruster fixed on the boat that was stripped when we went through the Mel Price Lock on the Mississippi River. Tomorrow we will do a thorough cleaning on the boat - inside and out - and begin exploring the area.
The resort/marina has 3 pools (2 outside and 1 inside), a spa and exercise room, a beach with volleyball court, laundry, showers, ship store, and much more. It's like having a vacation from your vacation, thus our decision to spend a full week here. For the first time since leaving on our trip we actually have a very strong internet connection, strong Verizon signal and cable television hookup.
Tonight we went for cocktails with Looper friends, then went to the yacht club for dinner. Because this is a "dry" county, we were allowed to bring our own bottle of wine for dinner where we were charged a $5 corking fee. The food was very good, with a panoramic view of Barkley Lake and the Green Turtle Bay Marina, and a truly charming atmosphere. There is constant activity and we have met many wonderful people that have quickly become very good friends.
