As we turned down Broad Creek we came upon
a solid wall of mangrove. We almost gave up and turned around, but
after looking a little closer we discovered what seemed to be an opening.
We took down the Sanity's mast; this is an easy maneuver since the base
of the mast pivots on a tabernacle and the mast head falls onto a boom
gallows. Then we slowly entered the opening and found ourselves in
a winding creek fully covered by mangrove.

Kaz had to stand forward to move aside low branches as we inched our way through. On all sides were the roots of mangrove. All I could think of was the movie, The African Queen, and Bogart pulling his boat through a very similar creek! Luckily, we did not have to get out and pull! |
