    March 13 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F

    Another chilly night last night, at 38 degrees. Sun was out today and it did make it up to 63. However pretty windy, with winds SW20. Saw a few more fishing boats on the lake today. Entered three marinas, Dale Hollow Lake Marina, Cedar Hill Resort and Marina and the last one, Horse Creek Resort Marina, which had one house boat sunk at the dock. All the marinas have quite a number of large houseboats, both private and to rent. Continued following the shoreline, seeing what we could find. (Nothing worth keeping…) Mostly garbage that has washed down the ravines or blown off the lake. A lot of Styrofoam, probably from docks. Saw a couple more turtles. We made it to the southwest end of the lake at Dale Hollow Dam. Turned around and now entering all the branches and coves on other side of the lake. Stated out at around 8 this morning, and anchored at 3:30 in Indian Creek. Bill and Mike took off in their Kaboats and found a spot to go hiking. I kayaked around this end of the branch we are in. I am seeing a few trees starting to bud out. It’s still early in the season, so not much activity in the marinas. Although today we saw a few more folks at the Horse Creek marina, including a family on a pontoon boat. The weekend is forecast to be nice, Saturday 70 and sunny, Sunday 74 and mostly cloudy, so I would expect to see a few more folks out tomorrow. The water is still too cold for swimming, at 49 degrees. The land around the lake is still mostly undeveloped. But we have seen a number of campsites on some of the peninsulas. One thing I’ve noticed in the marinas, are a lot of torn and shredded American flags. Folks really need to either remove them, or replace them with new flags. I suspect many of these boats sit in the marinas unattended, and winds and sun have deteriorated the flags.Read more
