day 3
17 November 2012 | Calcasieu anchorage
Beverly/calm and warm
Another good day of motoring the ICW. There was quite a bit of traffic coming through Port Artur. Once we got past that it was a long straight stretch all the way to the Ellender lift bridge. That was pretty tense because there was a lot of barge traffic. They were backing up, going forward, and parking on the sides! But getting the bridge opened was easy. We hsd called ahead and made an appointment and even though we were a little early they opened up for us right away. Sailboat power! From there we only had a short distance to go to our anchorage. We successfully anchored again and are hsppily relaxing.
