July 4th in Scottsboro, AL

The weather forecast is for THUNDERSTORMS.

 We were looking forward to Mike and Lori Pangburn coming to spend the holiday with us. We had hope to take the boat out, explore and play in the river.  Also, to stay on the hook.. However, now we weren't even sure if we would leave the marina. 

  

Even in the rain.. We were able to do some fishing.

During scattered storms, we drove to Huntsville, AL. And the weather cooperated .. How lucky we are.

Very nice downtown area.

On Saturday, we ventured out in a drizzle.

Explored an old barge housing shed.

Did a little fishing and the skies turned blue.

Thinking we might catch a break. We got back to the marina, got the "Knot Yet" and found a great position to drop anchor for the night. Front row to the fireworks that evening. 

The firework barge was parked by the island on the left.

Testing the water temps... A bit refreshing.

Dinghy fun and necessities.

Captain and shipmates.

Queen of the world.

We had such a great time.. Hope to do a repeat in October as we travel to the Keys.

Shrimp on the Barbie.

Perfect summer fresh meal.
