May 21, 2013, Pebble Isle Marina, Mile 96 on the Tennessee River

Tuesday:  We were glad we got here when we did.  Last night and today we have had several thunder storms.  It was good to relax and sleep in this morning.  It was also good to get our walk in between the rain storms.  My favorite dog, River, no longer lives here but when we started our walk this morning a friendly dog walked all the way with us.  We have no idea who he belongs to.  It almost felt like River was with us again.  I will bring my dog treats tomorrow just in case he shows up again.  It is that time of year again when the female turtles make their journey to their birth place to lay their eggs.  We saw two this morning.  This was a lazy day.  We got a few things done around the boat and went to town in the afternoon.
