It was a long 10 hour day. We left Shell Morgan in Intracoastal City just after sunrise, around 7:00 on the misty ICW. It's weird to see a barge appear out of the mist! We went under 2 fixed 73 ft. clearance bridges and had to wait for a cable ferry to clear at one point. At one of the bridges we were delayed by barge traffic, but still made it to the Morgan City docks just before sunset. Today we saw our first sailboat since Galveston Bay. It was westbound towards Galveston and we enjoyed talking to them on our way past each other.

We saw several bald eagles, hawks, herons and seagulls. There have been lots of geese flying over. We even saw a raccoon swimming across the ICW!

Here's a shot of the sunrise at our anchorage at the Mermentau River.
