Even with the rowdy party crowd on the docks just a hundred yards or so from our anchorage we had peace and quiet down in our aft cabin and we rested well.
Sunrise and sunset never get old!

| Erik and Riva headed to shore for their morning business Also to see if there were any survivors from the shenanigans last night |

Shortly after a quick dinghy ride to bring Riva to shore to potty we pulled anchor and headed toward Kenlake Marina where we would be meeting up with Erik’s dad and his wife later in the day. It was another breezy day with very comfortable temps. At about the 12th mile of the ~30 mile cruise we crossed over in to Kentucky which made for the fourth states waterways we navigated over the past two weeks.

| Large bridge in distance is visible for many miles coming up or down river. Kenlake Marina is right at the base of the left side of it |
 |
| About 3 miles from our destination for the day we passed by Sunset Harbor Hill Marina where we will be having Happy Destiny taken out of the water for a bottom job tomorrow |
We arrived at Kenlake Marina at 11:30 am and tied up on the face dock which is where all of the transient slips are at Kenlake.

| Trip stats for the day |
It was getting warmer so it was a Nice change from the past couple days to be able to hook up to shore electric and blast the AC units. After settling in we rounded up all our laundry and headed up to get all of it started. We wanted to wash all of the bed clothes and clothes because w e planned to leave most of it onboard rather than take stuff home and back again next month. We had leftover burgers for lunch and after rotating laundry to dryers we headed out in the bicycles to check out “The Hitching Post Old Country Store”. It is actually two separate general stores/souvenir shops/antique markets. The first mile of the 2.7 mile ride there was a real uphill leg burner….whew. We were hot and happy to be up out of the state park and on to flatter terrain. We were running low on coffee so we got 1/2lb of a specialty coffee and shared a small cup of homemade coffee ice cream before heading back to the marina (almost all downhill for the return trip 😃).

About 3:45 pm dad and Felicitas arrived after their 7 hour drive from Springdale Arkansas where they had been visiting with Felicitas’s family. We enjoyed each other’s company for the afternoon and evening. Grilled two porterhouse steaks and a big fillet of salmon for dinner. It was a nice time sitting on the aft deck for the evening visiting and catching up. We are grateful that they came to spend a day on the boat and to transport us home tomorrow after we bring Happy Destiny back up river a few miles to be dropped off at Sunset Harbor Hill Marina where she will be getting a bottom paint job and some work on the props.
