Boats, Bridges, & Boards...

Jay and I went on a boat ride with some of his coworkers recently. It was an evening ride; it was a little cold for me. :)

This is where the boat is located. It's on the Tennessee River.


I particularly enjoyed the view of the bridge from the front of the boat as we pulled out of the slip. This bridge has been there for a long time. There used to be one more bridge that went from Athens to Decatur. It was a wonderful bridge, a draw bridge, that we (when we were children) thought sang to us as we drove over.


In this shot, you can see the train bridge from the back of the boat.


I failed to get a picture of the whole boat, but it was quite large...bedroom, kitchen, flat panel TV...large. This is what the console (I guess that's what you call it) looked like. This one was down below. There is a second one a level up that Ken (the owner) sat at to steer us around.


As most of you know, we love spending time on the rivers in our area, so this trip was right up our alley.
