We are underway again.

We left the marina this morning at about 7:30, went about half an hour through the bayou, got to the lift bridge at 8 am only to find they would not open it till 11:00. Our government at work. We waited three hours until they finally opened it. So we ended up only going 24 miles today. We got through the Intracoastal waterway to the edge of Lake Borgne, which is then open water in the gulf, except for some barrier islands. It was 2:30 when we got there, so we decided to stop for the night while we had a protected anchorage. Tomorrow we go into the Mississippi sound towards Mobile. Hopefully we will make Mobile on Thursday night. If not Thursday, then Friday. We had a good time visiting Marvin Brown and his wife Karen. They helped us out greatly.  It is good to be back on our way to warmer weather though.
