Another chilly day! Today, we decided to drive from the inside instead of the flybridge. It is bit tricky due to some blind spots. Our dinghy makes it hard to see behind us so we have an Arlo camera that we put on a tablet. The windshield frames seem small but still get in the way. Kelly and Jen are vertically challenged so standing and driving is tough and the helm seat is a bit of a reach. Eventually, we will figure out how to make it work.

Jean Lafitte Anchorage is a small spot with lots of swamp tour boats. We felt like we were part of the sightseeing spot with everyone looking at us. Our anchor chain got stuck in the anchor locker so we let out the secondary anchor. Since we don’t trust our anchoring capabilities yet, our process has been to take a picture outside our cabin window every couple hours. As long as the picture looks the same, its not likely we moved. It proved to be a good move, because we realized the anchor wasn’t hold and we were moving. Jen pulled up the anchor along with a crushed crab pot!! Jen cleaned up the secondary anchor, un-kinked the primary anchor chain and let out. All good over night. Our Raymarine also monitors the anchor but it needs to prove its reliability to us until we trust it. Ha

With the anchor issues out of the way, Mike went to work cleaning the shrimp from our new friends, Full Moon shrimpers, in Morgan City. Wow!! They were so generous. We will have shrimp meals about 10 times! We are looking forward to meeting up with them again when we cross our wake in 18 months. We froze most of them and Jen made shrimp mac n cheese for dinner. Yum!!

While Mike cleaned the shrimp, Kelly & Jen did some yoga and a short workout, which was ended by Teddy. Teddy has been nervous on the boat and hadn’t pee’d all day. I guess the yoga was relaxing for him too because the flood gates opened on Kelly’s leg in the middle of namaste. It was a mood killer.
