Just another day at the office!

When your office comes with beautiful waterfront views, gorgeous boats, and great conversations, it’s hard to call it work!

Spent the day visiting some of East Tennessee’s beautiful marinas, including Concord, Fox Cove, Louisville Landing, and Whispering Cove.

One thing I absolutely love about the boating world is the people you meet along the way. There’s always a great conversation waiting somewhere on the docks!

I truly love what I do! 🩷

After a rainy weekend, a little fun on the water was just what I needed! 😎

Sometimes you just need to leave the workday behind, fire up the engines, turn up the music, and have a little FUN!

A few donuts, jumping some wakes makes for the perfect ending to the day!

Because let’s face it… I’m happiest when I’m behind the helm! ⚓️

Who’s with me? 🙋‍♀️

Rainy Sundays at the Marina!

Mother Nature may have changed my boating plans today, but there’s always something special about spending time down at the docks!

Sunday afternoons are when boaters are coming back in from a weekend on the water, cleaning up their boats, or just hanging around the marina.

And you know what I love about that? The conversations, the friendships, the stories, and the shared love of being on the water!

Sometimes the best part of boating isn’t even leaving the dock!

That’s what the boating community is all about! ⚓️

What’s your favorite part of spending time at the marina?

Just another beautiful day on Norris Lake!

The marina was buzzing today with plenty of boats and people out enjoying the water! I even captured some of the unique floating homes along the lake.

The water levels are definitely dropping, but that didn’t take away from the beauty of this gorgeous East Tennessee lake!

And of course, there’s nothing quite like looking back at that wake while cruising across the water. 🌊

Days like today remind me why I love the boating lifestyle so much!

Who else is still getting out on the water this fall? 🍂⚓️

🧡⚓️ There’s boating… and then there’s boating in East Tennessee on GAME DAY WEEKEND!

I spent the afternoon visiting friends at the Vol Navy, and there’s just something special about seeing the Tennessee River filling up with boats, orange everywhere and everyone getting ready for game day! 🏈🧡

This is one of the things I love most about our boating community — sometimes it’s not about where you’re going, it’s about the people you meet and the memories you make along the way.

Who else has experienced the Vol Navy?

Boating with Barbie is growing in more ways than one!

Many of you have followed along as my love of boating has taken me on an exciting new journey into yacht brokerage with Troyer Yachts.

I recently created a separate page for Barbara McLean | Yacht Broker, where I’ll be sharing boats for sale, behind-the-scenes looks at yacht brokerage, new listings and a little of what happens when I’m out helping clients find their next boat.

Boating with Barbie isn’t going anywhere! ⚓️This page will continue to be about boating, education, confidence on the water and the community we’ve built here.

If you love looking at boats as much as I do—or if buying or selling one might be in your future—I’d love for you to follow me over there too!
