Fish Fry - Marker 17

Al and I make it to our first TMCA Fish Fry - Channel Marker 17


Well we almost had to cancel our trip before it started.  We had a water leak at one of the rent houses and had to go back to town.  But, we were able to get that taken care of and headed back to the boat.  We got a later start than the others but we made our way by ourselves with no problem.


                                                                                                                                                                                            
But once we got there we had a blast. We were the last boat rafted up at Marker 17.
                      




 We got up early "Fish-Fry" Day to a beautiful sunrise.

Time for Fish Fry fund and so much fun.
Dancing and food galore!






We had a great time at the Fish Fry, however, and met some new friends Steve and Bron Lee and their friends Bob and Clair Perkins.



We partied and danced all day and all night.... some more than others!

Conga line on a boat?  Really?















Since we rafted up at Marker 17 we were able to just walk back to the boat without dinghy-ing over to Beason Park. We were right there for the food and fun.  So When Deana Jones "Called" everyone to dinner with her conch shell... the fish fry was 'on'.




 Going out on Sunday the winds were horrible. There was lots of damage to some of the boats when this trip was all said and done. But we did not have near the trouble as others did.  I believe that 4 boats had to be towed by Tow Boat US .  We rocked and rolled all the way home!
