We got up and looked out to see what the weather was doing. The winds were light so we said "let's go" so we were on our way about 7:00 AM. The winds did pick up and at one point and we had one rain downpour. After lunch and just east of 1000 foot cut the wind really picked up and WindAlert was indicating gusts over 31 kts. We could see the front getting closer and then when it hit, it hit hard for about 30 minutes. It was all over before we arrived at 1000 foot cut but we still had some strong winds and rain, mostly on the nose. We were hoping the weather stations were going to be right and the winds would die down for our anchorage otherwise Josh and I would not get any sleep. We anchored with no problem but the wind was still blowing 15 to 17. As predicted, around 7 PM the winds died down and at some points during the night it was dead quiet. Good night at anchorage!
Bye bye Lake Charles
Ellender Bridge
Coast Guard Station Port Arther looks deserted! This place looks like it has been shut down. If so, it would be a good stopping spot for cruisers.
Check out the name on this shrimper!
Anchored at Taylor Outfall
Josh not sure he's happy with the anchor situation!
