Day 3: Calcasieu River Oxbow Anchorage to Shell Morgan Landing Marina 11/2/21

Another early morning for the Wishes Crew. Kelly got her driving lesson today! She did great, she passed a few barges and went under a bridge. Jen’s lesson is tomorrow, as we only have till Monday before Mike goes back to work full time.

Our buddy boat, ’Biscuit’ captained by our dear friend Rob, did a great job leading us down the ICW and through our first 2 locks. We were a little nervous, but had no issues and were able to drive straight on through.


Well cruising today, we talked to a really nice barge captain who said after seeing “Biscuit” and ”Wishes” pop up on his AIS he was ‘wishing for some biscuits’. And once he found out that ’Biscuit’ had named their dingy ’Gravy’ he was loving it even more. We’ve really enjoyed getting to talk and listen to people on the radio.

Once we made it to Shell Morgan Landing, the dogs were so excited to run and take care of some bathroom business on land. They ran around together for about 20 minutes.

Jen made pasta with hatch chili bacon, green beans, and shrimp… so yummy! We are really getting used to of boat life and are loving it!
