Spending a day with family…

After we got tied up last night at the gas dock we got a text from Colletta’s niece Katie Larson who lives, as it turns out right across Lake Barkley from the marina. So she and her fiancé Matt Kaczmarski came down to the boat to see us. They were a great sight and they even brought a case of Bud Light and bottle of wine so we were really glad to see them. We talked on the back of the boat for a while and then Warren and Deb Berkley stopped over and we headed up to the Yacht Club for a cocktail. The only thing is that this is a dry county so you bring your own drinks. Strange.  I still don’t understand how they make out on this deal. The waitress would ask if you wanted another beer and then would bring you one of your own beers. We tipped her generously for her efforts. They had live entertainment of a 3 piece fiddle, guitar, and bass. They were very good. The fiddler played the devil went down to Georgia and the place really rocked.

Sunday, Katie and Matt picked us up for church. It was a Baptist church that Katie sings in the choir and Matt really likes the minister so it was nice.

 

 We then went out site seeing around the area. We went to their trailer and walked down to the lake and we saw the marina right across from their place. We stopped a Buzzards’ Marina for lunch and then went grocery shopping. Having a car is really nice for getting around. We then came back to the boat to chill for a while. Matt and Katie came back at 600 to go to Patti’s 1800’s Settlement Restaurant in Grand River. Patti’s is famous for their 2 inch thick pork chop. Warren and Deb from Harbor Lights joined us so we all piled into Matt’s car and took off to the restaurant. Warren and Deb surprised us by picking up dinner for all of us as a thank you for leading them on our river adventure.

We returned to the boat and Matt and Katie stuck around for a couple of hours just talking. They feel like a good match together.
