July 4th 2015 Fireworks on Watauga and South Holston Lakes
This July 4th, many boaters are going to be out on the water after dark. This can be great fun for the family; watching fireworks and playing games.
Don’t need words……
These are a couple photos from a very cloudy, sometimes rainy day. If we had been at home the kids would’ve been watching TV and I would’ve done some laundry or something horribly boring. Instead we took a chance and headed to the lake. S
Boone Lake remains larger than Fort Patrick Henry and the bulk of inland Lakes around the country.
With the recent drawdown of Boone Lake several boaters have voiced concerns about what lies under the surface of the water. While it’s impossible on any body of water to chart submerged partially floating objects, these are prevalent in the Spring when lake levels are being increased.
Boone Lake Boating 2015!
TVA isn’t raising the water level for at least another year while they’re working on Boone Dam. Many people are looking at the negative, but one marina owner is looking at the positive.
Don’t tell my Dad……please
Don’t tell my dad he was right. Please. But he (and my mom and almost every other adult who spoke to me when I became a father) told me that I would blink and 10, 15 maybe 20 years would be gone and my kids would be grown up and I would wonder where the time went.
Giving Back
The team here at Carefree Boat Club Boone, Watauga and South Holston lakes knows that we have been blessed. Blessed with health, with family and friends and faith. Blessed to live in one of the prettiest places to boat God created. And because we realize we are blessed and others aren’t as fortunate we know that giving back needs to be a big part of our lives.
Things you need to know before you buy a new boat.
Once you start the shopping process, you’ll quickly see prices ranging from $25,000 for an entry level pontoon boat, all the way up to $60,000 for an entry level sport boat. These are entry prices that can get much more expensive as you start adding options.

It is rare, but occasionally a TV commercial catches my eye and I choose to watch rather than fast forward. One such commercial that is currently running features three obviously wealthy young people talking about a cell phone company that wants to save them money.
