We left our anchorage around 9:00 A.M. and headed on down the river. We are still in the company of three other boats. We went as far as Bobby's Fish Camp and stopped for the day. It was only 2:00, but after last night, we needed to be tied to shore to get some serious sleep. This is the last "marina" until you get to Mobile. Bobby's costs $1 a foot. There is no electric or water, just a dock that holds only four boats. Usually, he allows people to raft off one another, but because the water is so high that is not an option right now. We were lucky that there was no one else at Bobby's when we got there. He does sell gas and diesel fuel ($3.15 a gallon). There is a restaurant here, but it's only open Thurs. through Sat. Bobby opened his marina in 1956. He had a stroke this past September and has just recently come back to work. This is an interesting place to say the least.
We had Happy Hour on "Moon Beam" and got to know one another better. One couple is from Montreal, one couple is from Minneapolis, and the other couple is from Charlottesville, VA. They are all very nice people.
