12/6/2012 – Thursday – Lake Charles to Taylor Outfall Canal
As soon as it was light enough to see, we headed out to our last anchorage on our Goin’ East trip. We pulled into Taylor Outfall Canal and dropped anchor around 3:00 PM. Teak finally got with the cruising routine just as the trip was comi…
12/5/2012 – Wednesday – Lake Charles
The day started off cloudy but by 9:30 AM the sun was peeking through. Mike on S/V Faith needed to dive on his boat to check out some shaft zincs that he thought were moving around and making a rattling noise. He was right, they…

12/2/2012 – Sunday – Morgan City to Intracoastal City (Shell Morgan Landing)
We were lucky; our tie up at Morgan City was not bad. During the night there was very little tow and train traffic and we were able to get some sleep (but it’s still the worst stopping place ever in my opinion). Maybe the reason we had little t…

12/1/2012 – Saturday – Houma to Morgan City
Josh and I walked to the hospital to get some decent coffee because the water that I used to make ours this morning did not taste very good. At 8:15 AM we all left Houma and headed on our way to Morgan City (or Berwick) for the worst stopping poi…
