The camp<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Built for the days you remember.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Alibi is a family place to land in Cocodrie. It is less about getting away from everything than getting back to the right things: time on the water, food around a crowded table, and nowhere else to be and all day to get there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The beginning<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Clem started the whole thing.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Clem Binnings brought a trailer, boats, and an appetite for fishing and fun to the end of the road. His original camp at Coco Marina became the place, and the krewe, The Alibi carries forward today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The annual Clem Binnings Award keeps the best misadventures in The Alibi’s record book, celebrating the kind of seamanship and sportsmanship that gets funnier every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
