Miss Hattie's Loop: Hunter's Moon over Kentucky Lake

We moved down Kentucky Lake from Green Turtle Bay, anchoring out two nights in little coves off the lake - there are dozens of them to choose from. The weather was perfect - dry and cool. The first night we watched the last of the supermoons rise over our isolated cove, it started out red and huge and eventually cast enough light to read by. As we continued south, we saw some interesting man-made sites: a bridge to nowhere, a commercial bldg partially submerged when the lake was formed and an island of trees that seemed to be floating. Apparently, there are whole towns down under that water in places.

The next night our new looper friends, the Elliot Family (Yachta Dreamin) caught up with us in another cove that wasn't so isolated - it was surrounded by nice lakeside homes and there was a small marina we dinghied into to have dinner in their floating restaurant. The beautiful white pelicans with the black tipped wings caught up with us as the year long summer continues, what fun!!! The next day we went just 8 miles down to Pebble Isle Marina, Tennessee, getting in before noon so we could pump out, fill up (at $2.54/gal) and use their courtesy car to get prescriptions and groceries at a Walmart that was about 12 miles away. We reunited with several other loopers while in port and had dinner with new friends. No work and all play makes for sharp individuals and great conversations. AND the harbor master delivered fresh, hot cinnamon rolls to our boat - they serve them with coffee free to patrons every morning at the restaurant, but we were busy blogging, and he noticed that we hadn't shown up! Maybe we should stay here.
