The moon on the water the last night I was on board. It is a beautiful part of the world and I have been blessed to see it.
Dawn on the deck of the floating city. This is in the river delta with the deep channel shipping lane to the west of us and the ocean to the east just past the barrier islands in the pix.
Home Sweet Home. Looking at the floating city and getting our first look at where we would be living and working. Isn't much to look at. The city consisted of 6 flat barges tied together with tin buildings built on top to form the housing, galley, offices, etc. This city averaged 200 to 250 people housed and fed there each day. Most went out on boats every morning to lay boom and skim oil. 12 hr shifts 7 days a week.
Taking off across the Mississippi river to the Babtist Collette channel where we would be living. This is one of the huge oil tankers that are all over the river.
The back dock of the team houseboat. It sat on one of the side channels of the mississippi river. A lot of the shrimp boats used this tributary to get to the delta.
Flying into New Orleans. The cloud formations off the wings of the plane were amazing. Wish the pix showed it better.
