Houston Ship Canal

Only experienced one incident. Was at a lay berth in Barbour’s Cut in '78 maybe?
There was nothing but a field there, and the bar overlooking the channel. Anyway, we cast off and promptly drove into the mud on the opposite side of the channel, attempting to turn up toward Baytown. No harm done but some red faces.

Edit: They served some good fried shrimp at that bar
