A Dale Hollow Visit

We had a phone message the other day wanting us to come to the lake so we loaded up our stuff, hooked up the Sea Ray and headed to the lake this morning after I fixed us a sausage and egg breakfast. We stopped and filled the boat with gas and trucked on towards the lake without any problems this time. We had the boat in the water and leaving the dock by about 9:10, which is early for Linda to be on the lake. We boated out past Trooper Island and stopped the boat and Stacey and I jumped in the water. Then we climbed back inside and we all cleaned the boat a little as it idled toward our favorite cove to meet Bonnie and Donnie Cox. The lake was a little choppy for as early as we were out, but the breeze felt great. We pulled into the cove and dropped anchor. I popped open my first beer and declared myself President of the 'Redneck Yacht Club', like the song by the same name. A few minutes later, Bonnie and Donnie arrived and my first appointment was to make Donnie the Vice President. We tied the boats together and enjoyed a lazy day on the lake, swimming, drinking, and talking about stuff. Bonnie and Donnie left for Star Point about 5:30 to take their boat out and clean it up before putting it in storage as they were planning on leaving the next day for IN. We stayed a little longer and then took a slow ride towards the State Park dock. We stopped for a while and enjoyed the peaceful water before sunset. Stacey drove us back to the dock and we pulled off the lake before dark and towed the boat back to the shed at the farm.
