Cardude, two things are holding us here now. The first and probably most important is the search and rescue operation is ongoing in Mobile bay and I don't want to hinder this and second the weather is being a little weird. We plan on a short 25 mile trip tomorrow to Roberts Bayou, which we position me for a straight run to Gulfport Friday (95 miles). From there it is another short run to the Blind Rigolets on Saturday and then through the locks and bridges on Sunday when there are no bridge curfews. Monday the wind kicks back up to 23 kts but by then I should be in Houma. The run across the Gulf of Mexico from Crystal River, basically direct to Pensacola was "interesting" and believe next time will probably do the more conservative Steinhatchee - Carabelle route. A buddy who was in New Orleans (Slidell) says he found a nice pier to overnight about 12 miles west of Harvey lock, which I plan on trying to find. I will let you know how this all works out. If the weather would have cooperated, I would have done the Gulfport - Venice route, staying offshore all the way to Beaumont.
