Saturday 9 May - Grassy Lake


GRASSY LAKE TOUR


Thank you to William for his wonderful hospitality and delicous food when we visited his cabin at Grassy Lake. It is a natural area used mostly for duck hunting and William treated us to his speciality - wild duck gumbo. We also had fresh salmon steaks on the BBQ (grill), corn bread and a fabulous crawfish et tu fe.

The team travelled out to a picnic area in the middle of the lake where William cranked up the BBQ for all the goodies. As we chatted and shared a few quiet wines we noticed the sky getting darker and the wind picking up (again eeek!!). Another boat arrived and announced we had a tornedo warning for the area (EEEEEKKKKK!!) so we shut all the windows and hunkered down until the worst of it passed. Needless to say the girls all babbled like a bunch of excited chooks once the fear had passed. Lots of laughs and talk of a fatalistic end to our young lives were entertained on the wet trip back to shore.
