12/2/2012 – Sunday – Morgan City to Intracoastal City (Shell Morgan Landing)

We were lucky; our tie up at Morgan City was not bad. During the night there was very little tow and train traffic and we were able to get some sleep (but it’s still the worst stopping place ever in my opinion).  Maybe the reason we had little tow activity was because of a dredge pipe just passed the bridge that was spread out all over the Atchafalaya River.  I do wish there was somewhere else that boaters could stop!  At 6:00 AM we all untied our lines and pulled out to start our relatively long trip to Intracoastal City and Shell Morgan Landing.  During this stretch we saw a lot of eagles and/or osprey (need to do some research on how to identify the differences) and several very macho floating “man caves”.  I do like these man caves out in the wilderness!  I think it would be cool to have one except for the snakes, gators and other critters that one could encounter during the night or early morning!  This would definitely not be Josh’s cup of tea!!!!!  Camping – roughing it?  Not a chance in the world!
We arrived at Shell Morgan Landing around 2:00 PM, found a spot and tied up.  After we settled in we had a drink on the stern of our boat and watched the tows and crew boats go by as we waited for the sailboats to arrive.  Shell Morgan Landing is closed on Sunday but we did call them earlier in the day and they told us to tie up and get with them in the morning.  They will be open at 6:00 AM tomorrow.
