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.
