Captain Chip Lucas was delivering a 59' Grand Banks Europa from Aqua Marine to Sandestin Fl. We were tied next to him at Bobby's and had dinner with him and his crew member, Larry.
This is Bobby’s Fish Camp where you raft off the dock as best you can. After waiting out the fog again for 2 hours, we traveled one lock and 64 miles. After departing the Coffeeville Dam you need to watch for tidal effects from the gulf. I noticed several white egrets as we left the lock and I read when the egrets hear the lock sound its horn, regardless of where they are on the river, they know there will be a feast of small fish trapped in the steel gates and they are on their way
The foliage along this stretch of the river changed several times as you can see from the pictures. Strange that today there was no debris. The river is still flooded and we had a difficult time getting an anchor to hold at Bates Landing. We invited Joe and Linda from “Life is Good” to raft with us. They had the misfortune of their generator quit working. Tom was able to hook them up to us to save their food in the refrigerator and give them hot water for a shower.
