Josh and I walked to the hospital to get some decent coffee
because the water that I used to make ours this morning did not taste very good. At 8:15 AM we all left Houma and headed on
our way to Morgan City (or Berwick) for the worst stopping point in Louisiana. The ICW between Houma and Morgan City is like
traveling through the swamps. This is a
very pretty area and we saw several eagles perched in trees. We passed a power boat named La Buena Vida (a
Great Looper!) who left the Morgan City docks that morning. We asked them about the dock situation and he
said that he was not sure if we would all fit on the Morgan City side because
of all the shrimpers and other miscellaneous boats. We talked about the wave action and he said
it was not good, so it appears that both sides get the same rock and roll. At this stop there is no guarantee of what
will happen and if you will get any sleep but it’s the only place for cruising boaters.
I wish we had somewhere else to go! We all arrived around 2:00 PM and were able
to tie to the Morgan City side. The
sailboats needed gangplanks to get off their boats because they had pilings outside
the bulkhead that they had to tie to. We
took the spot right next to the bridge without outer pilings, just a flat
bulkhead (but a nearby bridge made it a bad place for boats with masts) and we were
able to step off. We all headed to Rita
Mae’s Kitchen for an early dinner before it closed at 5:00 PM. Josh had grilled pork chops, red beans and rice,
seasoned corn and cornbread. My fried catfish (also with white beans, potato
salad and cornbread) was delicious!!!!!
