I am so glad we made the crossing yesterday! When I woke up it was raining and around 8:30
AM the wind shifted and started to really blow.
This would have been a very bad day on the Mississippi Sound. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!! Josh slept in, but when the wind shifted and
the wave action started coming down the channel from Lake Ponchartrain he had
to get up to see what was going on. We
were rocking and rolling at the dock, Teak was freaking out and all we could do
was sit and drink our coffee and watch the storm blow through! I decided to make breakfast - eggs, bacon and
biscuits and just have a relaxing day.
Around noon the sun started to peek out, but it did not last long before
the clouds returned. We did some laundry
and then Josh started taking the old windlass apart, getting ready for the new
one that should arrive tomorrow. Jim (on
M/V Jim N’ I, who we met at Portofino Marina this summer - they traveled with
Ernie and Camille on S/V More Good Timin’ back to Texas) who left their boat at
the Ponchartain Landing Marina before heading on to Florida were back at their
boat and stopped by to say hi. It’s a
small world for us boater’s, you keep running into people you know all the
time!
