Weekend On Greers Ferry Lake
Our weekend trip to the lake didn’t quite turn out like we planned. The weather didn’t really cooperate, but we had a good time just the same. A thunderstorm passed over the lake where we were Saturday afternoon and dumped a lot of rain on us. Being in the middle of a thunderstorm when you’re in a boat on lake, can be a frightening experience…especially for the young children on board.
Fortunately we have a hard enclosure on our boat so staying dry was not a problem. Hearing lightening pop around us was the scary part! But we lived to tell about it, and after the storm blew over, it actually turned out to be a pretty nice afternoon.
We stayed at the marina overnight and listened to more storms pass over, (it’s not nearly as scary being in a covered slip at the marina…in fact it’s pretty enjoyable listening to the rain, and knowing you’re out of harms way!) We awoke this morning to yet more rain, so we pretty much decided that we would give up on trying to get out on the water today.
The weather wasn’t exactly great, but positive things did come from our trip. First and foremost, our family was sharing an activity that we all enjoy and we created memories that will last a lifetime. Secondly, we met new people and we made new friends. Lastly….I found out our marina now has wireless internet access!!! Woo hoo!!!
I hope you had a great weekend as well. I look forward to writing something this week that I hope you’ll find useful and helpful.
