It rained just about all night and this morning it was foggy and dismal. The conference opened with all the people currently doing the loop introducing themselves and talking about how they were doing the loop and some of the things they have seen and done. Many gave advice to those that were thinking about doing the loop. Next there was a talk on cruising the Tennessee to Knoxville and the Tenn-Tom to Mobile AL. This afternoon it cleared up and we held open house on the Katy Leigh and then toured several other boats. This is a great way to see what new gadgets people have bought and how they have decorated their boats. We will get a chance to see more boats tomorrow. The photo shows the hotel which is behind our dock.
