No sleep till Knoxville?

Captain's Log - Day 25

Took our sweet time this morning!

It was a muggy night, and Simon and I are both exhausted. After a breakfast buffet, we spent some time recuperating in the pool.

This may be hard to believe, but the song "Sweet Home Alabama" is somehow better when you're cruising through Alabama on a boat! We probably played that thing ten times! Also played a "Southern Man" a few times  too for good measure. To round out the playlist, I threw in The Moondoggies "Don't Be A Stranger," Good Old War's "Only Way To Be Alone," Patrick Watson's "Wooden Arms," and the Black Keys' "Rubber Factory." Quite a blue-grassy playlist! It felt right for the occasion.

Thanks to Micah for Moondoggies and Patrick Watson. Good recommendations!

It was a short trip today, but it did get a little dicey. Another squall ambushed us today! It lasted longer than most too - maybe an hour or more. We braved the whitecaps and, despite having almost zero visibility, we managed to make it to Riverwalk Marina where we're docked for the night.

It's astounding how exhausted we are. We could barely muster the energy to go see Inception - which is really good!

We were going to grab dinner at the Hard Dock Cafe, here at the marina, but they're charging a five dollar cover charge! Typical.

Instead, we just finished a steak dinner! There's a restaurant down here called Steak-Out that specializes in delivering steak dinners! It's really good! Their name, however, is interesting in that there are multiple puns here. The closest pun, "stake out," doesn't really make sense though does it ? Unless, of course, a large part of their clientèle are police officers on stake outs.

The better answer is probably that it's a pun on "take out."

I think I've only been this exhausted about five other times in my life - I gotta sleep this off. Over and out.
