Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!


First, I'm just dying to tell you - Tommy Bonds drove down for a visit yesterday.  (Tommy and i went to high school together)  He lives at Signal Mountain, TN.  (the other side of Chattanooga, that's a crazy 8 hrs each way)  So we packed all the punch into the visit that we could.  It was a walking feast of Oysters, Crab, seafood and drinks!
Thanks for a great visit Tommy!  You are always welcome back.



 This local fisherman (see the lights up front) says what i saw the other night was either: a. frog gigging (usually earlier in the year. "we got us a mess of about 60 one night") or b. flounder gigging.

 He said he was moving his house about 9 miles up river.  






I decided to write just a small note more about The Old Cemetery.   
#37. Aunt Bella.  One of two slave markers in the cemetery.
#27. Double drowning.  "playing at the pier, she fell in and he jumped in to save her."





Oh the weather here is so incredible the last 4 days.  
I hope you are enjoying great weather wherever your yacht is anchored.  
Yaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrr!    -Capn Skip
