After several weeks at Bay St. Louis we finally got a weather window to make it over to New Orleans. We were concerned about the water depths since the north winds had blown so hard the last couple of days. However, as we left the marina we never saw less than 7' and once we got under the railroad bridge and into the Sound we say 9' and 10' most of the way to the ICWW. The following 2' seas were unpleasant, but not terrible. We had to keep adjusting the heading for the smoothest ride. But the short 1-1/2 to the ICWW Riggles was all we had to go through it. The rest of the trip was beautiful. Bright sun, calm water and little wind... maybe 5 kts.
We arrived at Pontchartrain Landing about 2:40 and got settled into our slip. We both agree... this is one of our favorite places.
