April gulf islands sailing trip

Post by Bayou »

Planning a week long sail from Lake pontchartrain to Petite Bois island off the Mississippi coast, with stops along the way at the other islands.
Curious if anyone has any good tips, anchorage suggestions or stops along the way that would be nice.
Thanks in advance

Sounds great! Maybe you told me but I forgot, which marina are you in? I'm in Colbert on the North Shore. Winds were awesome Sat and did a sail from Mandeville to Madisonville to eat at Morton's and then sailed back. I bet on the sail back I averaged 5+ knots

I'm not at any specific marina . The boat is docked at my house on the trailer lol .
Not far from Cabela's. On the start of our trip we plan on putting the boat in at Pontchartrain landing, staying the night there and then departing for the island's

Ah so you are in Gonzales. I live near LSU.
Sounds like an awesome trip. I hear there is some sort of cruise out of Pass Christian or somewhere around there in May.
