June 8 - Rest day in Houma - Ray the harbormaster told us that our ice cream shop is open again so Josh and I headed out in the heat to go. They did not have Oil Spill (flavor) but they said it was coming soon! If you are ever in Houma you must stop at the Scarlet Scoop.
The weather was so hot we decided not to walk or ride bikes to dinner but to just stay on board. Houma is one of our favorite stops and we love just watching the boats go through the twin bridges.
June 9 - Houma to 99 Marina, Berwick - We headed out around 9:00 am hoping to be able to get into the 99 Marina just past the Berwick docks again. A couple of people told us that they used the power when they stayed there so we were hoping we could too. That would save us from running our generator all night for the AC. We texted Capt. Ben and Trisha on M/V Contraband to ask if they used the power and what slip they were in. It turned out that they were in the same slip that we were, slip 4, so we went in slowly and the depth was 6.6 all the way and power was good.
Ray the Harbormaster came out to see us off. He even went down to the end to make sure no boats were coming that did not show up on our AIS. What a great guy! We informed him that some friends of ours are right behind and to expect them in early evening.
You see all kinds of things traveling the ICW
I can't believe people can just sit and fish in this heat! We were sweating to death and they just ignored us and kept on fishing.
99 Marina, Josh is going to kill the wasps first before testing the power.
This marina and boat launch is very busy. People are coming and going all day long in small jon boats (bringing back sacks of crawfish), air boats, crew boats, fishing boats and other things. It's good to see a park being used like this.
