Hiwassee Island Overnite

Judy Varner, TC Varner, and I made an overnight kayak trip to Hiwassee Island. We used my flat bottom boat to haul necessities like lawn chairs and a few other heavy items. I also hauled my kayak in the flat bottom boat so I had two boats to contend with. Next time I'll take only one.

After camp was set up, we fished and paddled around on the east side of Hiwassee Island. Late evening was spent on Ziegler Island solving world problems while enjoying the shallow water and sandy bottom.

Fun ended at bed time. For anyone acclimated to an air conditioned environment, the heat and humidity created conditions not conducive to sleep. I'll either install an air conditioner in my tent or wait on cooler weather before doing this again.
