Selected as the yard best suited for COMPASS ISLAND from among the others on the east coast, we slipped into what is reputedly one of the world's largest floating drydocks. Ideally located at the foot of the Mississippi River, Avondale sits on the west bank just north of New Orleans, Louisiana. As always, being in the yards meant working around the clock in order to accomplish all scheduled jobs. But in New Orleans, there is a custom: a carnival of brilliant costumes and pagan lineage. A harbinger of the nigh-approaching spring, Mardi Gras is celebrated. So despite the long work day, poor and expensive transportation, we celebrated with the natives their world famous Mardi Gras. Caught up in the festive spirit prevailing throughout the city, we traveled the highways and byways of New Orleans, sampling the renowned Creole cuisine. When not roaming the side streets of the downtown, we watched a new generation of supertankers being built around us in the yards. Even the voyage home was memorable as we ducked under the Huey P. Long Bridge, and then slalomed down the river through traffic and fog. Once in the Gulf of Mexico, we settled down into a normal underway routine and began an uneventful transit to Charleston. 3 I r I
