Sunday, September 30, 2018 - Watts Lake

This is the day the Lord has made - another "summer" day in Tennessee!

We began our day tagging along with our new friends from Blue Springs Marina in the Ft. Loudoun Lock.  The 3 boats fit easily in the 360 x 60 chamber, as we dropped a whopping 60 feet to Watts Bar Lake.


While the scenary up to this point has be stunning, the truely breath-taking landscape was ahead of us.  Almost immediately after the lock doors opened, we began to see the formation of the Cumberland Mountains beyond the large expanses of water, islands, and low hills covered with farms and forest.  Watts Bar is considered by many to be the most beautiful lake on the Tennessee.

We followed Larry Steidle to his marina (mm 547.7) and were pleased with the quaint family-owned marina on the Tennessee River.  We stopped in the bar and celebrated with the locals as the Titans eeked out a victory over the 2018 Superbowl Champs, Philadelphia Eagles.




All the while, we've been monitoring the "magic number" of our beloved Cubs, holding out hope that clinching the division is within grasp.  We were exuberant with the win over the Cardinals, but a Brewers win forced a playoff the following day.  Stay strong #FlytheW
