3rd of July Boating

Brent came over Saturday morning and we just messed around. We ate at Hamilton's for lunch since Brent likes their stuff. We did water the mums about 6:30 that evening.
Sunday we had planned to go to Dale Hollow Lake and were to meet Bonnie & Donnie out there along with some other people. We packed up our stuff early and headed toward the lake, gassed up the boat and stopped at Grumpy's for breakfast. After breakfast we drove to the lake and things went pretty well, there was a small line of boaters waiting in line to launch. It took about 10 minutes on the dock and we were launched and boating away from the dock by 9:45. We were supposed to meet the others between 10 and 11 but we didn't have far to go. We made the trip easily and were just diving in the water when B&D boated along side. They had some friends of Julie, their daughter, with them. Susie and Gary Mader pulled up a few minutes later. They had Gary's mom and her husband with them. We were all in the water swimming and talking for a hour or two, but it started to cloud up and the wind was picking up, so B&D had to take Julie and her friends back to the cabin so they could head home. We decided to move southwest to get away from the cloudy weather that was moving in, so we went over to Pulsey's Creek ate some ham sandwiches and tied up there. By the time B&D returned the weather had passed on and we boated over toward Holly Creek and found a cove south of there that was fairly quite. We laid around in the water some more. About 4:30 Susan and Gary headed back to Wisdom dock with B&D and us following, as they rounded the corner by Trooper Island we waved bye and turned to follow Bonnie & Donnie over to where Gary Brown had their houseboat docked. They were grouped with about 8-10 other houseboats in a cove. We pulled up near their boat and just talked for a while. Brent saw Jason Rockwell, one of his high school buddies from the swimming team.After about 30 minutes there we moved on, B&D wanted to head to Star Point so we followed them in and said so long. We rode back to the KY State Park and took the boat out about 5:30. The lake had been really busy, but it being so close to the 4th of July I had expected that.
