We untied from our slip at 6:30 this morning and idled out of the marina just in time to see the sun peak out from behind the mountains.
Todays weather was a mixed bag. We started with this beautiful sunset, then ran into a stretch of fog that got denser and denser, before finally giving way to sunshine and finally disappearing about 10:00.
The water was glass-smooth in the morning, but about noon we met a nasty little thunderstorm head on - lots of rain and enough wind to kick up the water a little, but not scary-bad.
We travelled about 57 miles today, went through the Guntersville lock and under the railroad lift bridge at Decatur before docking at the City dock at Decatur.

The sunrise photo is beautiful but the real moment was even better. I got up about 5:30 and walked Daisy before we headed off. I was able to get a little cleaning done as we traveled today and the heavy rain seemed to have helped get rid of some of the spider poop I missed. I think we have a representative of every type of spider in the southeastern United States hiding here on the boat somewhere! We stopped at the Decatur docks around 2:00. (I'll get this off my chest) There is nothing around here to see. The noise from a busy highway is just not as nice as the sound of birds in the trees as the sun begins to set (not to mention, you can smell the pet food factories in Decatur) . But Tom likes the security of a dock and his energy was level low. So he took a nap and I cleaned some more. When he woke up I fixed some chili for dinner. The boat still draws a lot of attention. We've already had one visitor and several people taking photos.
