12/8/2014 – Monday – Houma

12/7/2014 – Sunday – New Orleans to Houma
The plan was to leave at 6:00 AM but the wind was blowing 15 to 22 and there was no way we could get out of the slip that we were in without doing damage to our boat or others. With this kinds of wind we really don’t want to do the Mississippi Ri…

11/20/2014 – ThursdayWe tried to see if we could get a cheap rent car for the weekend to add on to our next week’s rental but they were all out so we are stuck here until Monday. As I said before, a few days at The Wharf is enough, not much to do…
11/19/2014 – Wednesday – The Wharf Marina
This morning the temperature was reading 30 degrees when we got up. This is nuts!!!!!! When I took Teak out the docks had a light frost on them and the marina had all the slip faucets running so the pipes would not freeze. Teak and I …
