11/26/2012 – Monday – Biloxi to New Orleans

I dreaded heading out today because the weather stations predicted winds out of the southeast at 12 knots (hitting us on our stern) with a 40% chance of rain, but we knew we should. Tomorrow’s forecast was for west winds (hitting us on the bow) and 50% rain.  Six hours of rocking and rolling is not my kind of thing but everyone wanted to head out!  Well, don’t count on the weather people to be correct!!!!  The sunrise was beautiful and we had a nice trip with a light chop crossing the Mississippi Sound.  A light drizzle started around 10:30 AM and continued throughout the day.   By 3:00 PM we were docked and settled in and helped S/V Faith and Morning Star tie up at around 5:15 PM (they just made the bridge rush hour blackout time).  It would be nice if these blackout times were CORRECTLY posted somewhere.  As we were going through the bridge we asked if they had a restricted no open time and they said yes.  They said 4:45 PM to 6:30 PM but when Mike and Renee called they said 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM so the sailboats “put the pedal down” and made it just in time. All were happy but really tired. Several days of getting up before dawn is catching up with me.
