Today was set aside for cleaning the boat, doing some sightseeing and having dinner with Norma and Merle Peterson, friends from Grand Rapids MI who were vacationing in the area. Weather was drizzly and later became a steady rain with temperatures dropping down into the 50's. Since the refrigerator was still not working properly, a couple technicians came to the boat to see if the problem could be fixed. After some time they gave me the dreaded news - the refrigerator needs to be replaced. Lucky for us, the refrigerator still worked a little so that we could keep food and beverages cool - not cold. In the afternoon we were again able to borrow the marina courtesy van for a drive through the "Land Between the Lakes". Even though it was raining, we had a lovely drive with great views of Barclay Lake and the Tennessee River. At 6:00 p.m. we met Norma and Merle for a tremendous meal at Patty's. The restaurant specialty are the 1 and 2 inch pork chops. Afterwards we had a night cap on board the Marco Polo. Since Merle and Norma had to drive to their hotel, and we were all tired, we did not make it a late evening.
