12/8/2014 - Monday - Houma

This morning I went out to look at the Nina and Pinta.  They were getting ready to head out to Boomtown for the night before Biloxi and on to Alabama where they will be drydocked for repairs.  I went back to our boat and told Josh to get dressed, I wanted to watch them leave.  He got dressed and we headed out to watch the show.

Push dinghy for the Nina and Pinta

Look at all these people trying to push the boat out to get a double tire bumper out from between the boat and dock.  All they had to do was loosen the bow or stern line, but no.... they just kept on pushing.  Josh and I just sat back and chuckled!

What's wrong with this picture?  Wilmington DL!!!!!!!!  Someone goofed!  This was on both boats.

The Pinta was aground and they had to move forward and backward to get out.  They really turned up the mud!  Maybe they dredged the hump that everyone keeps saying is there.

After the two Columbus boats left, Josh and I walked over to the hospital for breakfast.  Can you believe they were out of scrambled eggs?  Josh was not happy so it was not such a good breakfast today!!!!  We went back to the boat, walked Teak and then headed out to explore Houma by foot.  We walked all over, even in the not-so-nice areas.  We had lunch in town (subway) and then walked some more.  We found the ice cream shop from two years ago and I got a cup of "Oil Spill" again.  I did give Josh a few bites!

Later in the afternoon a catamaran named Blue came in.  Josh helped the two gentleman dock.  The boat was purchased in Florida and the owner is taking her to Kemah.   Doug Kendell, the owner, came over to our boat to discuss stopping points later in the evening and we'll be together tomorrow in Morgan City.
