Day 8

Another lazy day. We decided to sleep in till 9:30. I made some cheese grits for breakfast. We packed up camp and were on the river by 10:30. With the current moving pretty quick, we didn't struggle at all reaching our 18 mile goal for the day. Surprisingly we didn't see a single person all day, which felt weird seeing as we made so many friends yesterday. Alex cought a small large mouth bass that he tied to his kayak and pulled along behind in the water in an attempt to keep it alive so we could eat it later. When we got to camp we video taped Alex cleaning and then cooking the fish in butter, capers, and lemon juice. It tasted amazing. It serves as a perfect appetizer for the Mac and cheese I made afterwards. For desert, we're going to do the same thing with a catfish that Alex just cought. With all the fish he's hooked, I'm beginning to think he's a fish whisperer of sorts. Hopefully in the next few days I'll have some luck with fishing too!
