'19 Boating

Just catching up here after a long hiatus of posts here.

'19 was a great year for boating... as I've shifted my home base to Sewanee, I'm spending most of my time in the TN River Gorge and did enjoy a trip to Fontana Lake, NC as well.   The SeaRay 230 Weekender has run perfectly all season.   Major additions include a new tow vehicle: a 2011 Toyota Sequoia.  Also, a new vacuflush head.  Here are some photos:

Fontana Lake, August...  hiked to Shuckstack tower, and saw a bear swimming across the lake.







Closer to home, I made several trips to Chattanooga through the TN River Gorge, often stopping to bike up Raccoon Mountain, sometimes with my friend Bill, a high school buddy.   Except for meetups on the bike with Bill, I did these trips solo.  One trip I did on my birthday in July and biked up the mountain on the hottest day of the year.  It was about 96ยบ.   Some of my time, I spent in Chattanooga hanging out at Whole Foods or meeting up with Bill at a pub.




With the unlimited cellular plan, I can use my laptop to watch videos and surf the net. Hoping to enjoy more boating in 2020.
