Settling in

As I said earlier we are settling into our new marina at Green Turtle Bay .After looking at a slip on Pier 7 we decided to go with one on Pier 5. This gives us a bit more elbow room in the slip and puts us steps from the restaurant and indoor pool. If you go to the map at the bottom of the link above you can see the resort lay-out.

Last time down we spent a day getting the boat set up in her new slip. It's really convenient with the uprights on the covered slip as we have all the dock lines adjusted to just drop onto cleats as we back in so no one has to step off the boat until we're secure. I spent some time Friday exploring the marina in our kayak. Plenty of room here to paddle around without going out on the lake. Note: we've replaced the Commodores Club burgee with one for our new marina...next up ALGCA burgee for next fall.

Saturday we took the boat out to Kentucky Lake and did some more exploring. The leaves here are just starting to really change so I hope there is some more fall color next week when we go back down. The 2 lakes here are huge compared to our time on the Ohio river and we are looking forward to seeing more next season.

Thats about it for this post. Our plan for next week is to do a few more boat projects, top off the fuel tanks for the winter and change the oil on both engines and gen-set. We'll take another trip out on the lake to warm everything up. Hope this Polar Vortex isn't too bad!  We already have a trailer loaded up with a patio set and grill to make out home away from home more comfortable. We have an open house tomorrow so who knows...it may become our real home!! Wish us luck.

 I'll leave you with a couple more pics from the front deck as we enjoy evening "docktails". The sailboats make for a good photo op if nothing else...
