The weather was cool (54) and clear. We got a early start. Rusty called the lock and they said to come on. So at daybreak six boats left the marina and locked down together. Harbor Reach, Our Turn, Bliss, Monarch, Always R summer Place, and Jackets II. It was beautiful morning and this part of the river is very windy. Jackets decided to push all the way to Bobby’s Fish Camp. This place is a must stop if you are doing the loop and need fuel. It’s 118 miles from here to Mobile. We called ahead so they would expect us for dinner. This was the most overpriced “Marina” so far on the loop. $1.50/foot charged to each vessel, regardless of how many are rafted out. We were on the “dock” with Monarch rafted to us. We both paid $1.50 ft. The dock has cleats that look like they would not make it if a barge or boat gave us a big wake. This stop is right on the Tombigbee .It’s defiantly an interesting place, we had dinner with Monarch and Dream Chaser. Charlotte had her first fried catfish; she said it was not too bad. This is just a piece of Americana that worth a stop.
