Hello Carrabelle

After bobbing on the hook for a day in Shipping Cove off Dog Island, we got up yesterday and decided to check out Carrabelle, after fighting the davit that holds the engine, and getting the engine started..we have to fix that...we headed out..the channel here in the river is well marked and very deep. We passed several marinas, one of them had a wonderful porch where there were people sitting in rocking chairs, drinking beer, we waved and motored on. Before you reached the bridge, there is a marina called The Moorings at Carrabelle, we docked the dingy and went inside to talk to the girl in the ships store, we asked her if we could leave the dingy there while we had some lunch, she said no..they where to busy..Hello..we where the only ones there.
So when we got back to the dingy and moved on..I told Pierre, lets go the marina that had the porch...super great place, it is  called C-Quarters Marina. This is large and friendly marina, they have lots of transient dockage and they let us leave our dingy there to go and have lunch. The Fisherman Wife is good restaurant.
 We talked to Kim..who runs this marina..and she told us we could come in and dock and do our repairs, so off we went, back to the boat in the dingy. What a rough ride back, but when we got back, we motored to over to Dog Island and checked it out...neat Island.
This morning we motored up the river to C-Quarters and docked up. After talking to Kim she told us about a marina store downtown and the man ..Jerry..who runs it. So we walked to his shop and he told us he would have our part the next day..cool..we found a museum not to far...it tells the history of Carrabelle so we stopped in, the lady that runs it is very nice and we had a wonderful time talking with her, there is a nice ice cream shop downtowm too so stopped there and had a scoop of cotton candy ice cream...yum...
Back to the boat..we walked to the grocery store to get the stuff I needed for a great dinner...thank you Budget Bites..and we were we stopped by Jerry...he had stopped by the marina to find us and was told where we were are by our neighbors...they are fellow Texans...they are from Port Isabelle Texas...Pierre always says this about... me....you can always tell a Texan..but you can't tell them anything..He not get the part...but he will do everything in his power to find something that will

work...I love this town already...
