The 2016 Fall Rendezvous Comes to a Close

The Americas Great Loop Cruisers Association (AGLCA) 2016 Fall Rendezvous at Joe Wheeler State Park has reached its conclusion. We had a lot of good meals, a lot of good booze, a lot of good information disseminated and met a lot of good people, all-in-all we had a really good time and picked up a lot of good information. Kim even won a door prize one night which was a basket filled with lots of goodies – an engraved wine bottle, t-shirts, hats, books, gift certificates, and a coffee mug. We have also been able to go on a couple of hikes plus paddle our kayaks around the large bay facing the lodge which is located just above the Wheeler dam and branches north off the Tennessee River. Wednesday evening we attended an exhibition polo match, meal and concert at the Bluewater Creek Polo Club located near Rogersville, the polo was boring but the meal and the music were good.

Weather permitting we will be casting off at 8:00 in the morning (Friday) with 12 other boats all heading for Wheeler then Wilson Dams, we have a couple of guys coordinating with the locks in hopes of having a smooth passage. Kim and I are stopping in Florence for a couple of nights then heading over to Aqua Yacht Harbor to see about adding some additional navigation equipment to the helm... I'll let you know how that goes.

For now we plan to have a drink, watch a show, then go to bed.... we are tired – it's been a very busy week... good night.
