Louisiana to Mississippi
14 October 2015 | Ship Island, Mississippi
Beverly/sunny and warm
Looking at the old fort on Ship Island, which we still haven't explored.
Today we left Rabbit Island in Louisiana and headed into the Mississippi Sound. It's basically the Gulf of Mexico, interrupted by some barrier islands. The water was a bit choppy for the first few hours, but smoothed out later on as the wind died down. After a pretty uneventful 40 nm we arrived at Ship Island in Mississippi. We set the anchor in sand in relatively clear green water and settled back. We saw fish hitting the top of the water and splashing near the shore and lots of big jellyfish floating by. (This is cruiser's entertainment.)
