We're anchored out in Sugar Bay on Kentucky Lake.

It's an absolutely beautiful, serene anchorage which is in a completely sheltered arm of the bay surrounded by nature of the National Park "Land Between the Lakes".

We're the only boat in this arm of the big bay, but there's a boat ramp and small park campground about a half mile away across the big bay in another arm of Sugar Bay. We went there in the dinghy to take Daisy for a walk this afternoon.

These are the first really colorful Fall trees we have seen. I think they're sweet gum trees. The other big green trees next to them are huge Cyprus trees. I tried fishing this bay with no luck this afternoon and also fished off the aft deck with worms and a minnow, also with no luck.


We saw an adult bald eagle flying low around this bay looking for fish as we were out in the dinghy. It flew almot directly over us at about 100 ft. up. A really great sighting of this magnificent bird. We also saw 4 deer come down to the water's edge to eat the grasses at the head of the bay.

When it was totally dark this evening, we turned off all of the boat lights, including the anchor light, so we could go out and see the stars. It is simply incredible how many stars you can see when there is zero light pollution from lights. There was no moon out yet so even the Milky Way was clearly visible.

Tomorrow we're going another 60 miles South on Kentucky Lake to Pebble Isle Marina at New Johnsonville, TN. I'll have to get a Tennessee fishing license, even though my Kentucky fishing license is good on all of Kentucky Lake.
