Lake Cumberland

We arrived close to sunset at Holcombs Landing State Park boat ramp after a crazy drive in the countryside around Lexington and a nerve wracking non-launch of our boat at Lee's Ford Marina and Resort. I was sure that a strap was going to snap and our boat was going to shoot off the trailer and go flying down the way to steep access road. By the time we finally got her in the water we were looking for a nice anchorage pretty fast. We spent the rest of the week in the same cove. We had the Moon coming up every night at one end of the cove and the sun going down in the other. Talk about the beauty of nature!

Our evening view for the week. Great weather and beautiful sunsets. We only left our spot twice during the week. Once to stock up on ice and beer and once when a thunderstorm broke loose our bow anchor. We looked around in the same cove for a possible better spot and ended up back in the same spot.

When it was finally time to leave our efforts to make sure we were securely anchored almost cost us our stern anchor. I had apparently gotten it well stuck in the rocks. After various different maneuvers and about a half hour I finally got it loose.  

On the way back to Franklin Furnace someone may have thought that they saw a UFO. We lost our saucer shaped tv antenna somewhere along the way. All in all a great couple of weeks on the water. We got to try out a cockpit shower surround and hope to improve on it. We were amazed by how comfortably we could spend so much time on our Rossi, looking forward to more.
