I was gonna make a joke that we’ve been in Franklin so long we’ve established a garden around the boat, but the reality is maybe we have a lawn of water hyacinth now, but in the next hour the river’s clear. The current is somewhat inexplicable due to the floodgates at Calumet being closed and Bayou Teche here being a cul-de-sac rather than a through waterway.
As a result, we had the choice of going miles and days out of our way, backtracking almost to the Gulf, or pulling out at Centerville, back on the trailer, and dropping back in on the other side of the pair of floodgates.
