We traveled from Venice to Morgan City a total of 187 miles. The day started with a 4 hour run up the Mississippi river as we could not verify an entrance point west of Venice “see yesterday’s blog”. As luck would have it we arrived at Algiers about 10Am just as a tow was ready to exit and to our surprise the lockmaster said “bring it on it” after the tow clears. Cleared the lock about 10:30 and once again back into the ICW. We tied up to the Morgan City wall about 5:15pm with a normal day of minimum bridge and lock delays. We found a place on the wall to tie up and get power all for a $20 fee which is an honor system you just leave the money in a steel box. The good thing about being in Morgan City was we were closer to home and we got to eat at Rita Mae’s; you just got to try the fried pork chops with red beans and rice.
