Our anchorage at Taylor Bayou
Today we left our anchorage early in order to make our appointment at the Ellender lift bridge, which is not usually manned so you have to call and make an appointment for them to be there to raise the bridge. We arrived about 30 minutes early and watched the bridge tender drive up and enter the building to let us through a little early. The rest of the 11 hour day went smoothly, although the part through Sabine Lake was a little rough in the SSE winds. (Lucky me, it was Ralph's shift at the wheel.) We did get to see another alligator swimming close to us and, of course, lots of barges.
