We spent our last night at Seabrooke Marina in New Orleans where Anticipation had a little paint and pampering done to her bottom.
Tuesday August 30, 2011
We head out of New Orleans East bound through our Louisiana waterways. Enjoying the beauty and serenity along the way. My mind is flooded with childhood memories of spending time on the Mississippi when dad was a river boat Captain...all so long ago. I must admit that I never expected to be able to enjoy this lifestyle on the water and I am so thankful to be a part of this wonderful dream come to life with my husband. I am amazed at how compatible we are...and look forward to many years with Anticipation!
Just before sunset we arrive at Pass Christian Yacht Harbor where we will spend the night. So far in this journey we somehow manage to be a little too busy to kick back and enjoy the setting sun completely...no worries! Our time is coming!
With confidence we put Anticipation into the dock slip (yes I am proud of myself for being comfortable as 1st mate!)
More friends come by to greet and welcome us into the "boating community"...or should I say "family". I am starting to realize that boaters are very special people and more than willing to go the extra mile to assist in any way!
Shaggy's for dinner...yummy! Great staff and friendly service...seared tuna bits and fried fish were great...pretty good margaritas also :)
Day two:
Fueled up at Point Cadet, it was quite convenient; David and .... Were very helpful and the tiny store was packed full of fishing stuff, caps, and T-shirts...yes we left with a few goodies!
Into the Mississippi sound and we are rocking steady all day long!
Wait let's back up a little...we stop to take care of necessary things, shut the generator and engine down in order to hear the macerator...clear things out...umm...generator will not start! Did I mention it was another hot day? Therefore, no spending time cooling off inside! Still no worries just more time spent together.
Cruising right along and all of a sudden I look over to port side and see two dolphins swimming in our wake! I was able to get a couple of cool shots and video clips, they are amazing and fun to watch.
As we enter into the canal at Orange Beach the sun is once again dropping into the horizon painting another beautiful skyline. This time of day is surely one of our favorites.
The new Tacky Jack's is open and looks great from the water...hope the margaritas are as good as the original restaurant so we can add it to the margarita run...hope Reece & Scarlett are ready for the event!
Wharf Marina here we Come! Ahh...shore power and a/c...life is cool again!
