Houma, That's Louisiana David

First the facts per Dan. We've traveled 540 miles @ 1600 rpm, used 200 gallons of gas, and have burned 2.6 miles per hour including generator usage. Not too bad for you landlubbers.
We've been in Houma now since Monday afternoon and will probably leave tomorrow morning (Thurs May 24). The Houma Marina is quite nice. The dock holds about 4-5 pleasure craft before the water gets to shallow. You're parked between two high rise bridges but the road noise is miminal. Plenty of electric, water and posts; it amazing what becomes important in our world. There's even a pump out station handy, again important.
We had to ride our bikes to West Marina Monday to purchase a new UHF radio for the flybridge. Ours had been acting up but we had hoped it was just a wiring issue but after weeks of messing with it, we had to go get a new one. Turns out that West Marine is relatively close (about 6 miles) but along some treacherous roads. In hindsight, we should have checked on public transportation. But it's installed now and seems to have resolved the problem. Other than that, we've been piddling around with some chores. We found a great burger restaurant with homemade onion rings which were wonderful, we dinghyed to an ICW bar called 1921 which is just newly opened and now we're off on the bikes to find some breakfast.
This is an interesting place to watch the barge traffic from. They pass about 100 feet off our stern just past the local dock, where kids have been swimming, and lots of people fish. I managed to rip my toenail off last night in my eagerness to check out the reeling in of a channel catfish. Nails, both finger and toe are not meant to be on boats or rather on any body parts on boats.
CONGRATULATIONS must go out to Ernie, who won the republican primary nomination for KY Governor. Looks like 4 more for him and Glenna if things continue as we expect.
There are some new pictures available. Use the photo link at the bottom and check out the crusing album. We're trying to take a few each place.
