Zach - as Little Ducky said - year round in the slip. It will get cold in the winter, but usually only one or two times really get below freezing and very rarely for more than a day or two. I recall a couple of winters ago getting down to 10°, but that is really rare. Water temp is never below about 38° at the coldest although I have seen a thin layer of ice between the docks. TN has 4 great seasons.
Great links to our Chattanooga marina above... we cruise 20 minutes to our favorite weekend raft=up cove...
Sounds a heck of a lot more enjoyable than the winters in MN. I will take a closer look at the marina's when time allows. Appreciate the feedback
