Best of plans....change. We went the other direction. Took a seven hour ride back to Jones Creek to anchor out for the night. Testing the dog and our house batteries. In spite of hourly attempts to get him to use "turf" and potty pads...Dakota, the wonder dog, went over 22 hours without any action! We took a dinghy ride to shore bright and early Sunday morning for relief. We knew he had to go...and oh, boy, did he! House batteries didn't fair much better. We ended up running the generator in the middle of the night. Captain says new batteries before fall rendezvous time! All in all, it was a very pleasant night on the hook. Temps in the 60s...Rain clouds moved in mid-morning...so when there was a break in the action, we anchored up and headed to Guntersville Marina. It was a very windy and somewhat rainy four hour ride....but we liked it! Dakota loves it here....dog walk area and pet friendly. We are a little disappointed....stopped here to try the restaurant ....which is closed on Sundays.....such is life! Monday we will head back to Ditto Landing.
