| Arriving at Pebble Isle |
Today was a mixed bag. We left Paris Landing at 8:45 and carefully entered the main channel in the river. The weather was a little overcast for the first hour with wind and a chop on the surface I followed the markers carefully and after a few hours ran the boat aground! I’m not sure just what exactly happened but the sound of mud and gravel under the boat with the possibility of serious damage to the props as well as the hull does not make for a good day! We were lucky that the lake bottom was muddy and we did no damage to the boat. After a few minutes we floated free of the bottom and continued on without any problems. We were very lucky today that the lake bottom was soft and forgiving.
The good part of the day was when we reconnected with Chris and Bruce. There is a flotilla of loopers here that all showed up on the dock for a dock party. The camaraderie of loopers is wonderful.
