Friday night we had Happy Hour on the back of our boat. Sue didn't come over because she was waiting for a phone call. Norm stayed until about 6:30. When he left, I went down to the galley to prepare dinner. John was still out on the back deck watching television. About 10 minutes later, he saw a raccoon climb our stepladder and get on the boat. It was still light outside, for crying out loud. He jumped up and knocked his drink over. He tried to flip the raccoon into the water with the boat pole, but the little devil jumped back on the stepladder and got away. I am SOOOOO glad that the door to the boat was closed because I'm certain he would have come to visit the galley and I would have been very unhappy about that. The next day John went up to the lodge to tell them how brazen these raccoons are, and they said they would set traps for them. We haven't seen any traps yet. We turned our boat around, so that our back deck is facing the water and we are bringing the stepladder into the boat at night.
Saturday Sue, John, and I went into Rogersville for a Fall Festival. They had a car show, a craft show, an art show, a band, and a chili cook off. It was small and only took an hour and a half to see everything. The little girl on the boat next to us won the Pedal Tractor Pull. The mayor gave her a nice big trophy.
Sunday we went to Florence because it was the last day we'll have a car for awhile. We ate a late lunch, got everything for the boat caught up, and enjoyed the scenery. Later, at the marina, the loopers who are already here had Happy Hour together. Two of the couples have finished the loop when they arrived here. We are enjoying ourselves and meeting lots of nice people.
