Morgan City

(Please note the previous nights' blogs (below) - I've been without internet but I'm finally up to date)

What a hot and sticky night last night. I don’t remember the last time I’ve been so hot and sweaty 24/7. Every so often we feel a slight break in the temperature of a breeze, but not enough. Hopefully as we continue to travel east and then north the weather will become more tolerable.

Today we travelled by some spectacular scenery on both shores. Everything is so lush and green. I see an occasional flower in bloom and try to capture them so be sure to check out the photo albums.

There is an over abundance of dragon flies and butterflies (better than those bad nasty stinging bugs), I was blessed today to be a respite for one of the dragon flies.

Tonight we’ve docked at the Morgan City docks, just north of the ICW on the Lower Atchafalaya River. We are surrounded by work boats, bridges and folks fishing off the docks. We walked into town and enjoyed a nice dinner then over to the grocery store for some badly needed supplies. As we sat on the aft deck tonight enjoying a cooler breeze a train crossed the lift bridge just south of us – 106 cars and 6 engines. (guess who counted?)

That makes our skeeters look wimpy. Lindsay Springs is flowing beautifully. Please don't anchor there (ha ha) we just got it fixed. Love the pics. Keep sailing!

I vote for Mom - she got it from her Mom, and I do the same darn thing! I try to do it when I'm driving, but sometimes I have to watch the road and lose track. LOL! Love the updates and hope you are "enjoying" yourself in spite of the discomfort of the bugs and humidity. Love to all...
