Well - as promised. I took Cathy out for a day of relaxation and lunch at Mike's Landing in Sulfur Creek Marina. There are about 17 marinas on Dale Hollow and we've found that Mike's has some of the best food at the best prices.
We took a short jaunt over to our usual spot, which is about a 10 minute boat ride. It's a small inlet that is somewhat protected from all the other traffic, skiers, tubers etc. Anywho Cathy read for a bit then took a nap while I read and puttered around. About 4:15PM we headed out for Sulfur Creek.
Sulfur Creek Marina is about a 25 min ride into Kentucky waters. It's a medium sized marina with lots of boat parking but the visitor docks are a little rundown. They're still sturdy enough but the surface is really rough and splintery. Still - well worth the trip.
We had our usual Mike's Landing Burger with iced tea and homemade potato chips. It was just enough without feeling stuffed for only $6.97 each. Then we hit the trail again. Get a load of this boat that was parked in the marina. It was sooooo long that he had to back it in cause the bow would have blocked the walkway. Actually he probably backed it in to protect aft end and cabin. It was really close on the sides to. Either he's really good a maneuvering or he had lots of help. I wouldn't even attempt it.
And this was the fitting end of a typical Dale Hollow Day. Catchy Huh! Hope ya'll enjoyed it as much as we did.....
Welcome Aboard

- I'm Cathy, a 67 year old retired Navy wife. Spent 24 years as a Navy wife until my husband retired after 27 years of service. We traveled all over from Washington D.C., to Puerto Rico, St. Croix, St. Maartin, Martinique, Japan and Korea. We re-located to this beautiful state of TN from Central FL. We live in the mountains on 5 acres with our 10 cats (5 indoor). I'm Chuck, the Other Half of the equation. I'm a 68 y/o sailor at heart. While in the Navy I was a Cryptologic Tech (Intel type). My most memorable tours of duty were in Submarines (Scorpion, Skipjack, Triton & Ray), as Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Deputy Director National Security Agency (RADM C.F. Clark), and my last tour as Operations Chief at NSGA Homestead, Fl during Hurricane Andrew. It was a good time to retire. We have been looking for this home since 1965 and thank the good Lord that we're finally here.

Beautiful sunset. I'm surprised to see satalite dishes attached to the Marina. It looks like you had a perfect day out on the lake.
