McFarland Park, adjacent to the Florence Harbor, gave us a wonderful setting for our morning walks.
Taking a break during our stroll through the park to enjoy our Kona coffee.
Imagine our surprise when we came upon this paddlewheeler with its gangplank stretching into the park. They offloaded passengers to tour the Helen Keller home, the A.C. Handy Museum, and a house built by Frank Lloyd Wright.
The "working" end of the paddlewheeler. It sure is a lot different from the modern day cruise ship. Those two guys on the deck help put the wheel's size into perspective!
The First Mate in Spiritus' galley preparing another delicious meal for the crew. Thanks for the great pan, Mom!
From our slip at Florence Harbor Marina, we enjoyed this spectacular view of cliffs on the Tennessee River.
Captain Eddy rigs a surprise burgee for his First Mate.
WAR EAGLE ! ! !
Our next door neighbor at our anchorage in Possum Cove at Joe Wheeler State Park.
Our view of The Lodge at Joe Wheeler State Park. This is where the annual fall AGLCA rendezvous is held. Two months from now, the slips will be packed with trawlers!
Captain Eddy makes an important trip from Spiritus (in the background) to The Lodge.......
........to get an ice cream cone for the First Mate!
A three mile hike on a trail through the park helps to justify the ice cream indulgence!
Every good hike deserves a good nap!!!
