Nav-A-Gator

Frank and Pat jumped on board our boat and we went up the Peace River about 12 miles to the Nav-A-Gator for lunch.  The river is not very deep in some spots.  There's a marked channel, but the local knowledge dock hands told us not to follow it.  One guy drew us a map on the back of a sheet of paper, but couldn't give us the paper.  Had some business info on it. We crossed over some spots with less than a foot of water below the props.  But made it unscathed.

Along the way, we saw an alligator napping on the shore.

















We also saw some wild pigs under the shade of this tree. You have to look close.



















We finally found the signs telling us where to turn, but there was a small boat aground in the center of the channel.



















We waited until the stuck boat pushed off with a paddle.  I got out on the bow to scout the water, and decided to go in right against the shore.  We made it back in to their docks and tied up.
















The inside is rather plain.  I think some decorations on the walls would brighten up the place.
















Later, we went over to Fisherman's Village a talked with Dave and Barb on Robert Sidney.  Yet another Rosborough.
