Day 9: Apalachicola becomes home

Friday, October 6, 2017

Water Street Hotel and Marina

The water level has risen 2 feet since we docked.  We are on a floating dock with about 7 more feet to spare before we need to worry.  Hurricane Nate has flooded Nicaragua, Slidell Louisiana (where we just were a week ago) is being evacuated for Nate and coastal flood warnings are in affect for Apalachicola.  As of today we are living the good life.

We slept in, did some maintenance on the boat, tried to check the props with our go pro, but the water is too mucky to see anything.  Jacob is going to have to get in the water, but probably not here.  This is gator country.  There is a sign on our dock that says, “DON’T FEED THE GATORS”.  Jeeno has fallen in the water 3 times here.  I feel like he’s begging to get eaten by a gator.  He hasn’t fallen in once on our trip and now that we are docked up in marsh country he does???


When we ventured out today we saw many of the same people; this place is already starting to feel like home.  

I love when mother nature takes over.  Does anyone know how long it takes for this to happen?  and does it harm the structure?
