After a comfortable night at Great Bridge, Virginia we woke up the bridge tender at 5:50 am declaring we were here for the 6 am opening. He sleepily replied “Good morning capt, stand by we are opening in a few minutes”. Down the canal we go, love the b…

We’re home…well almost. Just being back in Texas feels like home. We could be in Rockport by Saturday, but may take an extra day depending on the wind coming in with another cold front. We have quite a few large bays to cross before docking in Rockport.

We left Morgan City at sunrise and traveled 110 miles west. The only signs of civilization today were a fuel dock and small grocery in Intercoastal City, where we stopped for diesel (we paid $2.97 a gallon). There may not have been any towns, but we saw plenty of barges and smaller boats that check the gas wells that cover this part of Louisiana. Our youngest son worked the wells in this area the summer after he graduated from high school.
