Left out after sunrise heading to Houma. We were surprised to see many bald eagles along the way , about 35-40 in total! Most were seen flying in pairs. Really neat! The rest of the day was uneventful. The lock was open, and we made it though everything fine. The number of bald eagles was incredible.
We came up to the city dock in Houma, and there was Texas Dreamer. They had stayed an extra day. The only spot we could float was the end slip, and it was taken. So we went around, hit the mud, and tied her off. I made a couple of trips to the convenient store, Watched a movie and went to bed early. Next morning, powered off the mud, went to the Barataria Waterway and tied up, does this sound like the movie Marely and Me? Texas Dreamer anchored about 5 miles from the waterway. I know this is a bit dull, but at least there are pictures on the blog.
Halloween
Set out and after we cleared the bridge, there was Texas Dreamer, right in front of us. They took the lead today which is a good thing because we were having radio problems. With about eight lift bridges and two locks to go, it would have been a tough day without them. The perfect day for going through New Orleans, no wind and very little current. Last time it was running 6 knots, today it was about a half. Spending the night at Seabrook Harbor tonight. We cannot get to Lake Pontchartrain because the Industrial Canal is closed for a year starting last week.
