Bayou Petite Anes
It's a good thing I'm keeping this blog, because the days are already beginning to fade together. Although the banks of the ICW are beginning to be a little more interesting...some houses, farms and ranch land, we are still out in the boonies and each day seems a lot like the last.
Even with the time change we got a pretty early start. Lots of barges and one lock today. We had planned to stop at Shell Morgan Landing in Intercoastal City, but when we got there it was still early and it just didn't look like much...so we moved on.
Our next option was Bayou Petite Anse. We could have anchored right off of the ICW, but we decided to wind our way through the bayou to Avery Island. This is where they make Tabasco. It turned out to be a great choice. The banks along the bayou were very pretty, large trees draped in Spanish moss. Towards the end of the bayou we could see the gardens that are part of the Tabasco property. We docked next to the boat ramp...lots of people around crabbing and fishing. Unfortunately by the time we got things squared away on the boat, it was too late for a tour of the Tabasco plant. We did take the bikes off and went for a ride. It was nice to do something different.
