Delcambre to Houma Downtown Municipal Marina

We got up early Friday morning (6-14-13 my birthday) and got ready to leave. Once we untied the dock lines we went to LeBlanc Fuel Dock to fill up with Diesel. The diesel at LeBlanc's was only $3.16 a gallon..... I can't remember the last time I paid this little for fuel. This is just another reason to visit Delcambre North Pier Marina. They had someone there to help you tie up and then leave.

We then headed down the bayou towards the ICW. Once we got to the ICW we turned East. There was not very much to see along this section except some wildlife. We had a gator that was about 10 feet long check out the boat as we passed by. He was a little camera shy so I couldn't get a picture.

We came across the a rig in the ICW that Jimmy Roller the Big Captain of the Bayou Crew Boats works on. Jimmy was not there when we passed. So we sent him a picture of the rig to remind him to go back to work so I can stay retired.






We got a little shower and then it got really hot for a while. I was showing 105 degrees in the shade of the Bimini in the cockpit. The temp gage is located on the helm next to the chart plotter.

We finally arrived at Morgan City about 4:30pm and tied up to the old shrimp docks, which is now call the Morgan Municipal Pleasure

Boat Pier..... Well nothing has changed. It is still an old shrimp dock. There were about 5 shrimp boats there but plenty of room for Greg's boat and Barefoot Babe.
I would not recommend the pier unless you only stay one night. There are no cleats, and your electric cord will not reach to the power and may not even fit. The water facet can not be reached either with a normal 75 / 100 foot hose.



The only reason to spend more time here is to see the town of Morgan City. The docks are right in the middle of the old area with quaint buildings and nice restaurants. And all the people were friendly too.

Early the next morning we headed to Houma Louisiana. They have a very nice marina next to the ICW and it is built in a park like atmosphere.

We arrived there early, about 12:30pm so we could get the pick of the slips. All the slips are a first come, first serve. So it pays to get here early just in case there are no slips available and you have to find an alternative location for the night.

Once we got tied up to our slip, we called Ray the Harbor Master. He came over to the marina and turned on our electricity and collected our slip rental. The slip rental is $25.00 a night and includes water, electricity, trash, and pump out. And of course complete use of all the park facilities. We plan on staying at least one night, maybe two.
