The storms went around us last night and it was still feeling rather hot and sultry in the morning. When we left the anchorage at 8 am, the temperature had already climbed to 84 degrees. Fortunately, the partly cloudy sky became cloudy and kept the temperature moderate. By the time we anchored at 12:30 pm it was “only” 88 degrees. We were familiar with the anchorage as we had stayed here two nights on the way upriver and observed the nightly ritual at the bat sanctuary. We were only a half-mile from the lock so that put us in good position for the morning lock through.
After lunch, we relaxed with some reading and watched the sky as a thunderstorm approached. Before long, we could see the rain coming across the lake and quickly dropped the hatches to wait for the storm. We could tell there was some pretty strong wind on the main lake, but we didn’t notice it quite so much in our protected anchorage. During the storm we enjoyed a wonderful cool down that lasted the rest of the day.
