Day 2 Crystal Beach to Lake Charles

Long day arriving at the Gold Nugget around 8:30.  A fair amount of barge traffic along the way. 

 
Still dealing with the house battery’s not charging enough or charging period on the engines alone.  We are running the generator and using the battery charger to charge the house batterys and are having no issues.  Good news is we are running the ice maker since we have the generator on.

We got up and 5:00 and did engine checks and we’re off the dock at 6:30.  We are waiting at the Calcasieu Locks now, a east bound barge just went in front of us and we have to wait on a west bound barge and then it will be our turn.
