Dog River Marina: Happy Father's Day! We arrived at the marina around 11:00am today. After all lines were secured, electrical hooked up we settled in. Before we left Corpus, Jess bought us two boat bikes (they fold up and store very easily on the boat). Well, today...I starting hosing down the boat and Jess had put the bike on the dock. Now picture this all slow motion.....I am moving the hose, hose hits the bike...bike starts to fall....I'm screaming....Chuck runs over and is grabbing for the bike....Jess is inside the boat....hears me scream...runs out...bike goes down. I felt sick to my stomach. Jess and Chuck tried to find it with long poles....too deep. Jess went to the marina store and came back with a grapler. It worked and the bike was retrieved. Big lesson learned.
We will be here for 10+ days. Chuck has generator and port engine problems. This will be a good time for us to restock, run necessary errands and take care of boat chores.
The trip has been incredible and it's only the beginning. Very beautiful country from the water view. We will update again when we head up the Tenn-Tom Waterway (to Kentucky).
Love to all
Jess & Cindy

Hey guys,
We have enjoyed reading your blog and living vicariously through your adventures. Sounds like you are doing very well, way to go!
Let us know when you feel a little settled in Grand Rivers, we look forward to coming up to see you. One of our favorite restaurants is right there in town, Patty's.
Laura and Dale have just purchased a lakehouse on the Elk River. As Hurcey and I have looked at the map, we realize that when you are at Joe Wheeler State Park, you could just drive right up to their boat house!! Keep us posted if you
pass anywhere near Huntsville or Birmingham and we can meet you there.
Stay safe,have a blast and remember you are doing this for all us baby boomers!!
Much love,
Janet and Hurcey
Good morning, just in case you lost track of time today is June 25, 2007. I hope all is well, we have had some good rain the past couple 2 or three days here. The lot and should be nice and thick when I mow it. Katie is doing very well in kickball the all-star gameis on the week end of July 6 - 8. J.D. is ready to come home and Lainy and Jake are doing good. There has been a lot of changes around work so overtime has open up for me. Stay safe and watch out for those barges. We love you.
