Gale made a great scrambled egg and toast breakfast for everyone to start the day. Dan and Julie packed up the van and the kids and they were on the road back to Chicago before 9:00 am with the hope of making it all the way home in one day.
We spent most of the rest of the morning doing general cleaning chores. After lunch, Maureen grabbed the utility cart and walked across the bridge to the north side of town where there was a Whole Foods grocery store. While in the produce section, one of the back wheels gave up and fell off the cart. Maureen called Gale to come to her rescue and while he made the walk to the grocery store, she finished up the shopping and met him outside in the parking lot. He had brought a wire and a pair of pliers to fasten the wheel back on. We were able to haul our groceries back without further incident.
At 3:45 pm, we were ready to leave Chattanooga for good and begin our westerly tour back down the Tennessee River. Since it was already so late in the day, we couldn’t go too far, so at 6:30 pm we dropped the anchor one more time at “the Beach.” There were still several boats full of kids hanging around so we anchored away from the action and enjoyed our time making dinner and watching the sun go down.
