Made it to Houston

We arrived in Clear Lake on Friday at about noon. We are glad to be stopped. It was a long but enjoyable trip.

44 days
1123 nautical miles
1302 statue miles
300 gallons of diesel
210 engine hours
3 nights in a marina
1 night tied to a wall
1 night underway
39 nights at anchor

The trip from the Keys up to New Orleans was very enjoyable. The 350 miles from NO to Houston area was semi-enjoyable but was work with all the barge traffic. We only found one really nice anchorage along the way from NO and two pretty good ones. The rest were just someplace to stop for the night and leave at first light. That makes the trip a little more stressful as there are not many nice places to rest. We are considering a different route on the way back.
