We cast off lines and pulled out of the slip around 8 AM, it was a bit cold but sunny and calm. There as was a lot of commercial boat traffic on the Intracoastal Waterway but we made good time and 52 miles later arrived at the bulkhead of the Boomtown Casino. We tied up there and had dinner at an Asian restaurant in the casino, it was quite good. We usually stop here the first night of a cruise as puts us in a good position to enter the Harvey lock on the West side of the Mississippi River tomorrow morning.
