We headed out at 7:00 AM with the plan to anchor at Taylor Outfall. We were making good time and by the time we got to Taylor Outfall it was only 4:00 PM with plenty of daylight and good weather so we decided to go all the way to Port Arthur. It was a pretty good day for cruising with a breeze most of the day. We like not sweating to death! I was concerned about how Teak would handle the heat. She is slowing down and does not handle things like she use to. Not much to see along this stretch of the ICW except cows grazing along the banks and barge traffic.
We arrived at the Port Arthur Yacht Club around 6:00 PM, docked, and started cleaning our pier because it was covered with bird sh_t! We were also blessed with a dead, stiff fish. After the dock cleaning was done, Josh said (Murphy's Law) I think we are in the wrong slip. YUP!!!! OK, I started cleaning off the finger pier for the slip where we were supposed to go to. Josh said that since we were going to move again we might as well get our fuel before going into the slip we were assigned to. Over to the fuel dock we went. Filling the first fuel tank was easy but when we went to fill the other one we ran into problems. When you stop pumping, the pump shuts off and you have to start all over. We tried several times with one purchase of $5.00 and then another purchase of $0.02. Enough of this, we have enough fuel to get home so we headed back to our assigned, cleaned off slip and settled in for the night.
