Day 117: The North Shore


Lake Ponchartrain Looking NNW

We planned to spend the day in New Orleans but instead made a last minute decision to cross Lake Ponchartrain.  What can we say, our feet are restless and the winds are light.   The picture above says it all--nothing but flat water.


Straight Across

Our destination, Madisonville, reportedly a nice town, has a cruiser friendly reputation and a free wall to tie to.  Yea, 'free' gets us every time. 


Madisonville's Free Wall

After Sin City, Mayberry is a breath of fresh air.  It really is a cute town and lots of folks are out in their boats or enjoying the local restaurants.   In Madisonville, LA, 24nm today and 953nm to date.  DBH
