MORGAN CITY

OK WE ARE BACK IN MORGAN CITY FREE DOCKS WE HAVE BEEN HERE A WEEK, THE FIRST THREE DAY'S WE WERE HERE LATE IN THE AFTERNOON IT RAINED AND THEN THE HUMIDITY WAS UP. A SHRIMP BOAT PULLED IN ON WEDNESDAY SO WE BOUGHT SOME FROM THEM. WE BOUGHT 6LBS AND THEN HAD TO CLEAN THEM ALL. SO AFTER THEY ARE ALL CLEANED AND BAGGED WE END UP WITH FOUR SMALL BAGS IN THE FREEZER AND HAD SOME FOR DINNER WITH OUR STEAK. AND THEY WERE GOOD.
AND THE NEXT DAY ANOTHER SHRIMP BOAT PULLS IN, IN BETWEEN US AND THE FIRST ONE, WELL WE DIDN'T SEE HIM PULL IN BUT LATER I LET THE DOG OUT AND IT LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE TOUCHING US. BUT THEY WEREN'T BUT THEY ARE DAM CLOSE I CAN STAND ON THE BOW OF OUR BOAT AND TOUCH THERE ANCHOR WITH- OUT ANY TROUBLE. AND THE SIGN BEHIND US SAYS;
THERE ARE SHRIMP BOATS IN FRONT OF US AND SHRIMP BOATS BEHIND US NO ROOM FOR PLEASURE BOATS, OR MAYBE THEY DON'T WANT ANY OF US TO DOCK HERE.
SO ARE GOING TO LEAVE HERE TUESDAY MORNING AND HEAD TO NEW ORLEANS IT WILL TAKE US TWO DAYS TO
GET THERE AS WE ARE 95 MILES AWAY. WILL DROP SOME MORE ON HERE WHEN WE GET THERE.
AND AFTER BEING HERE A WEEK SOME GUY COMES OVER AND KNOCKS ON THE SIDE OF THE BOAT, SO JERRY GOES OUT TO TALK TO HIM. HE SAYS HE IS FROM THE TOWN HALL AND IT COSTS $20.00 PER NIGHT TO STAY HERE, SO WE SAID NOT A PROBLEM. SO WE STAYED 9 DAYS IN ALL AND THEN WE FUELED UP AND HEADED TO NEW ORLEANS. BUT WE HAVE TO STAY ONE NIGHT ON THE HOOK. AND THE PLACE WE STAYED WHEN WE CAME DOWN THIS WAY A FEW MONTHS AGO WAS FLEMING CANAL STORE, IT IS OFF THE RIVER. SO OFF WE GO...
