[Paddlewise] LaCostaUpdate

Larry and Arthur made it to Burns Point, La, Friday night. I have no way of
being able to tell you where that is, except that it is to the east of the
middle point of the part of their voyage across the Louisiana "coast". I put
"coast" in quotation marks because it is not an even coastline at all, if
you've ever looked at a map of the area. It's estuary and marshland blending
into the Gulf.





A friend sent an RV down to meet them Friday night at a local park and they
had hot showers, hot food, refreshing beverages, and a night in real beds.
Yesterday, Larry's wife and Arthur's girlfriend went down and brought them a
fresh load of supplies and they are staying at a nearby fishing camp while
working on the boats.  I spoke to Larry by phone yesterday morning. He said
they had been paddling/sailing late into the night every night, under a moon
that gave them plenty of light. He sounded very happy. He said they are
becoming accustomed to being wet all the time. He is feeling much stronger.
This is a big relief. We had a big storm here yesterday so I am glad they were
off the water. I know seeing their loved ones will help, too.  Marsanne
