Mermentau River – Anchorage
Miles to Rockport, TX - 319
“The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live
the life of your dreams.” ―Oprah
Winfrey
We left Morgan City at
sunrise and traveled 110 miles west. The only signs of civilization today were
a fuel dock and small grocery in Intercoastal City, where we stopped for diesel
(we paid $2.97 a gallon). There may not have been any towns, but we saw plenty
of barges and smaller boats that check the gas wells that cover this part of
Louisiana. Our youngest son worked the wells in this area the summer after he
graduated from high school.
Yesterday was a great photo
day, but today there just wasn't a lot to focus on. Pretty much the same all
day...barges, tows, shrub trees, and a canal. We did spot seven eagles, but
even they were hard to get a good picture of today. We have seen more eagles in
Louisiana than anywhere else we have cruised.
We finally got to our anchorage
just after the sunset as it was beginning to get dark and the mosquitoes were
beginning to swarm. We decided we’d relax and have dinner inside this evening.
It looks like we'll be back in Texas tomorrow, but the anchorage we are headed
for is on the Louisiana side of the Sabine
River, so one more night before we actually sleep in Texas on the Texas Pearl.
