Pascagoula River Tour



On our second week’s “day off” we were treated by members of our host church to a guided boat tour of the Pascagoula River and surrounding bayous. The weather was just perfect, sunny and warm. We saw all kinds of wildlife and flora, much of which is similar to Florida. We departed from the dock of the Audubon Society. Our guide, Capt. Benny McCoy, is Certified by the Society, and had a wealth of knowledge, plus a great sense of humor. Highlights of the trip were seeing “Big Al”, a 12-foot, 500+ pound alligator, as well as catching several Ospreys build their nests. A nice day of respite for our tired, aching bodies after four days of more hard labor.
