Terry and I went to Hilton Head Island a few weeks ago (I had computer work there) and we took the boat but with 30-40 mph winds we never got it in the water. It sat in the hotel parking lot looking oh so lonely the whole week. Then we went back to Florida, put the RV in storage (boo hoo) and headed to Winter Haven and spent a week or so at the farm. 3 foals were born while we were there and we had a great time with family. Terry is still at the farm and I'm in Durham, NC doing another computer job for a few days but flying home today and then tomorrow we are heading out to Texas for a couple of months and taking the boat with us. We are planning to stop in Apalachicola/Port St. Joe area for a few days to check out the area, but...grrrrr it's supposed to rain tomorrow and Friday and high winds so we might not stop... playing it by ear. I am so ready to get back in the boat and have a fun day on the water doing anything! I really think we would be happy if we lived on a boat full time and traveled by boat but can't figure out all the logistics unless we had a barge so we could fit all our crabbing gear, crab traps, shrimping gear, fishing gear, camping gear, vehicle, flats boat, etc with us. Haven't quite worked that all out... lol.

Anyways, good luck this weekend at the throwdown. Can't wait to see how it goes! Wish we were gonna be there but we have to get to Texas by Monday.

You guys have it soooooo bad! Don't worry about us defending our title....worry about Talqui-NT and his two friends trying to catch 7 fish.

Have fun

We are going to be heading right past Quincy this weekend but I'm afraid we won't be allowed back on Monroe if we stop there and catch big fish. On the other hand, if we stop there and get skunked and don't give yall any help we won't be allowed back there either. Lose/Lose on our part... lol.

Oh great idea! Maybe we should drive all the way to Grenada tomorrow since the weather will be bad in Apalach for the next couple of days and might have pushed through Grenada. Been wanting to see the big specks of Mississippi!

I just love driving across the Atchafalaya Swamp... If I'm thinking of the right place... I-10 West of Lake Ponchartrain?
