Back in Silver Glen Springs

Quiet night docked last night, but could hear the winds starting to come up this morning. After breakfast we walked up to Dollar General to purchase a few items. Was pretty windy on the river and Lake George today, with winds blowing around 15-20 mph. 1 foot of chop when we were in the open, but fortunately quartering off the the stern. Pushed the power up today and cruised 2/3’s the way on plane. Came back in to Silver Glen Springs for the day/night. A few other boats, but we haven’t seen any manatees here today. With an outside air temp of 65, the 74 degree water of the springs felt warm. I got in to set my stern anchor to keep us from swinging much, and also to go around and clean the boat’s hull. (Water depth here is only about 4-5 feet.) Also, shortly after leaving the dock at Welaka, I realized that overnight the waves or a fish must have knocked my chartplotter’s transducer up, so I wasn’t getting a depth reading. I did use my boat hook to feel around and push it down until it worked. In the springs here, with the clear water, I adjusted it appropriately.Les mer
