day 5
19 November 2012 | shell morgan marina, Intracoastal city, LA
Beverly/calm and warm
Today we had a close encounter with a barge on a curve. Ralph maneuvered us around and it went well but it was scary. We also transited another lock. (FYI, put on a life jacket before you go out to handle the lines so they don't tell you to go back and get one.) The rest of today was pretty calm and easy. We are tied up at a marina this evening. We got here around 3, filled up with diesel and gas, walked to a little store for a few groceries, cooked dinner and had the luxury of warm showers. We've been charging phones and the laptop since we have shore power. The hotspot on my phone works great so we're able to update daily. Tomorrow will be our longest run to date at 65 miles.
