Woke up this morning at 4:30 to the smell of fire they were welding on one of the large platforms by the ship yard. At 5:20 we started to untie, a couple was just coming up to set up to fish we talked with them for a few mins while getting things ready to go. They ask if we had met the “pet” yet, they have a 12 gator that hangs out at the pier and can be seen most days by the fishing cleaning area. We headed to the lift bridge passing a lot of traffic both small fishing boats as well as large barges. There were many barges that had run around to spend the night so it was hard to tell with all the light which barge was moving. I was on bow duty with the spot light until the sun came up just after the lift bridge. We are pretty sure this is the last bridge we will need open to get home, Texas has all 73 foot bridges. We ran down a 20 mile stretch of a long narrow waterway dead into the wind. This is the path that leads out of Louisiana and into Texas we can almost smell the lone star.
