Calm before the storm?

We decided to take the boat out this morning to experience the quiet peacefulness of the water before we tie it up in preparation for the arrival of Isaac. We're praying that no harm comes to anyone from the storm.

We cruised to Pirate's Cove in search of dolphins, but didn't see any until we got back into the bay where we saw a delightful dolphin show.

We also noticed that the barge traffic had picked up again. Apparently the barge jam on the Mississippi River, due to the low water level brought on by drought conditions, got moving again. I do enjoy watching them go by.

Calm waters early this morning.
