The weather was cold and partly sunny this AM, It started to hail (pea sized hail) at around 1:49 on Guntersville Lake at Guntersville Alabama where we originally bought the Unwinder. We unofficially have named our boat the Jigamawhiz Captained by Thing One and first mate Thing two, Back to this morning, we awoke at around 7ate breakfast and were on our way by 7:30. We had to anchor out in on guntersville lake past Bellafonte plant because there were no slews to anchor out in. The water depth in the slews was very shallow too shallow for us. We sailed under some neat bridges, one was railroad bridge at South Pittsburgh that raises a whole middle section up to let us pass thru. The water level was down when we left Chattanooga and the water level on Guntersville is higher. Watching our mast go under these bridges is fun it looks like our mast is gonna smack the bridge every time. We have  had one very close call with an old bridge. We locked thru Guntersville Dam at around 2:30, WOW what a lock thru it was raining cats and dogs my poncho was uselessly blowing in the wind, rain soaked thru my shoes standing on deck with a wet line in my hands to catch the lock bit. Luckily i roped it on second throw with wind blowing Steve, extremely cold and wet ( caught his too. Soaked to the bone we sat and waited in the rain after tying off with the Dam operator on a golf cart came to check on us shaking his head at our situation and making sure we were secured properly. After that event i decorated our boat with wet hanging clothes every where, You know i am a decorating diva. Clothes hanging in your living room from the ceiling you know thats gonna catch on. LOL.  Will arrive at Dittos Landing in around 2.5 hours, ive learned sailing that there are few exact times for arriving anywhere and we really dont care. We love it out here! We made Dittos right after dark. The channel to get into Dittos is shallow we have a 4.5 foot draft and had 1 foot left under keel. The docks are very nice, they had a shower, washer/dryer, and clean restrooms. Easy access to gas pumps and transient docks (which are right up front to the right as we came in). We had electricity (20-30 amp) and Steak out delivered us a great meal right to the dock.Dittos Landing is at mile marker 334 for you Sea Gypsies/Riverfolk like us.Beautiful scenery all the way down, still fishing!
