We really enjoyed our time at the Guntersville City Harbor, but the wind shifted overnight and gave us a rolly night at the dock, which greatly disturbed our beauty rest. All was right with the world, however, once the sun came up and we confirmed that the local heron was still keeping watch over us.
We went to breakfast at Another Broken Egg, just 84 steps from the boat (I counted), and had a couple of delicious omelettes, with fresh fruit, potatoes and english muffins. Then it was back out on Guntersville Lake in beautiful sunshine and light winds for 21 miles to Goose Pond Colony Marina in Scottsboro, AL. Once again, we are the only transient boaters at the dock, but we never get lonely, and can play our musical instruments without disturbing others.
Scottsboro fun fact: It is home to the Unclaimed Baggage Center, a 50,000 square-foot store and America’s only retailer of lost airline luggage. The store attracts more than one million shoppers annually and reportedly adds 7,000 new items every day.
We are in Northeast Alabama, about 30 miles south of Tennessee and 30 miles west of Georgia, and are starting to see some fall colors.
We’ve decided to spend two nights at Goose Pond Colony. It’s another resort-style marina with a full list of amenities and amazing customer service, so we’ve modified our schedule to take a break, buy groceries, get out on our bikes and maybe buy some lost luggage.
During our after-dinner walk this evening, we saw this armadillo feeding next to the road.
