Big Leagues

As we paddled into Baton Rouge, the Coast Guard welcomed us with a warning about vessel traffic from here on out. We soon saw what they were talking about.

As we rounded the bend, massive oil tankers, numerous barges, and a dredger stood in our way.

The margin for error is slim. Our underpowered boat will require foresight and quick decisions.

The next stretch is the most dangerous for paddlers, good thing we have over 2,000 miles under our belts.
