Watson and Pitt Bayous

And now, for the rest of the story.

On the industrial side there were so many places.  This was a major
haulout and repair for working boats.  This is one of the slipways.

This unique schooner catamaran has caught David's eye over the years and
now we had the opportunity to check it out.  We strayed just a tad too close and
were stuck in the shallow.  The wind was blowing us onto the hard so we
had to use the dinghy to push us off. One of those "Hope no one was watching" moments.

Another view of the schooner.

The other side of the bayou.

We see where the Mercury test boats live.  We have watched these boats tear
up and down the ICW for years.

 

Miss Kera could use a good haul out.

The plant that has the call to work-lunch horn.

The  mountains of wood pulp waiting to turn into paper.

The same house that has the unique schooner-cat has this even
stranger looking proa  shaped hull cat.  

The only way to get to the steak house was to tie up on a muddy beach and take
a short hike through the woods to reach it.  Too yucky for regular shoes but
sea boots worked fine.  We tucked our jeans in the walking then  covered the boots
for dining.  We really wanted steak!
