Outback
Crab Shack
We
enjoyed a slow morning...sleeping in a little, taquitos for breakfast and
coffee on the flybridge. I think we’re going to like this slower paced cruising.
Our destination today was a small creek on the eastern shore of the St. John's
called Sixmile Creek. It's a stop everyone seems to make, because the Outback
Crab Shack offers a nice free floating dock to anyone who eats at the
restaurant. The dock is 1/4 mile long...not that it was needed today. There
were only a few day boats docked when we arrived. We thought we'd see a few
more boats this evening since it was a beautiful Friday, but no one showed up.
We decided to have a late lunch...catfish and shrimp was the day's lunch special
and it wasn't too bad. The place seems to be known for its fried seafood, which
we aren’t a big fan of any longer. I was expecting to find a cute little fish
camp on the river, much like the one we were at yesterday, but this place is very run down and you can't even see the river from their tables. It definitely
looks different from the pictures on their website…but for the nice dock on this quiet
secluded creek it's a good deal.
After
lunch we took the dinghy up the creek in search of wildlife. It's a beautiful
remote area, but all we saw were a few turtles and two birds...no alligators
yet. We spent the evening on the boat visiting with people who strolled down
the dock from the restaurant and listening to the serenade of a million frogs
in the surrounding swamp.
Good morning!
