Our favorite anchorage was Pelican bay at Cayo Costa. Also spend a night at Cabbage Key. Enjoy

I believe a number of years ago the AMA journal recommended not eating raw oysters . Even though it's a small risk eating them raw I like them steamed or baked just fine anyway.

Thanks for the post. We're in apalachicola right now and were just given a free coupon for a dozen oysters at UP the Creek restaurant. No way of knowing exactly where the oysters came from so we'll pass on it.

I've towed our boat with a Honda 135 many thousands of miles with the trim set at the spot where the lower gearing starts with no noticeable ill effects so far. Recently a couple of people recommended tilting it all the way up with the support bracket in place so I'm not so sure what the best...

Have the EU2000 and recently got the EU 6500 as a backup for the house.Incredibly quiet and smooth running. I think the minimal vibration will allow it to hold up better over time than most small generators.

Ben- We followed your advice and cruised close to the barrier islands heading east. Beautiful and calm. The passes were sloppy but didn't take long. Going inside Dauphine and coming out at Ft Gaines worked out real well also. You've got a great cruising area there. Give us a shout when...

It's been blowing 15-20 just about every day here on the Gulf. With my 17' kayak on top there's a lot of windage. Going into the wind docking is fine but from just about any other direction it's a challenge for me. It got me wondering if this is another advantage of twins. Do twin outboards...

Slick installation. We're headed for Horn island Sun Am. We'll keep a lookout for your boat. Alan & Linda on Simplicity

We're headed to Horn Island Sun AM. Is Petit Bois just east of Horn? We're at Ocean springs now. Really nice town. In 300 years the live oaks on our farm will look just like the ones here. Roger - We won't make it to pensacola in the next few days-maybe by about next weekend. Passing through...

In Ocean Springs, Ms small craft Harbor. Just met Ben from "Myhooker".

We started from Kingston and left the trailer at Olympic marina for 6 weeks with no problems. I can't remember what the fee was and it was 4 years ago. We'd like to do the Rideau and that loop again some day- fun trip. Enjoy Alan

Quite a wait for the Industrial lock, but the Harvey was a breeze. We were the only boat locking through. Pontoon bridge was open( think it was having repairs) so no wait there. We are at the Houma Town dock now and not another boat here. Really nice Laundromat within a couple of blocks.We are...

We started at Kingston then Rideau ottawa and St lawrence but either way should be fine.By the way if the storm gate is open at Iroquois lock you can probably bypass the lock like we did.

Thanks for the fuel stops. Sounds like we might also be able to get fuel at Talins near Houma. We are at Seabrook Marina New Orleans. Nice people and we recommend it to anyone coming to the area.

If this is a normal economic cycle the economy should be absolutely booming.The treasury is borrowing and spending trillions and the federal reserve is printing trillions and keeping interest rates on the short end near zero. Interesting times may be ahead.

We're at Seabrook marina near nawlins and the owner has told us he doesn't think gas will be available for at least 180 miles until intracoastal city. Roger do you or anyone else know of a place to fuel up around Houma or Morgan city? We might make 180 miles but it would be close.We didn't...

Even if using ethanol as a fuel is a good idea , making it out of corn is not according to a number of experts in the field. Making ethanol from other biomass such as wood debris might make more sense if the process can be perfected. Corn ethanol is all about powerful lobbyists. I'm not just...

We're heading West but not sure we'll make it all the way to South Texas because we got a late start. The fog has been bad the last three days but made it to point cadet marina in Biloxi. Allen and Genie, we sent you a PM. Alan

Roger- I'll admit I've always been against large scale nuclear power.The results of a serious accident could be so horrific this complex engineering better be just about perfect. Unfortunately in the world I see sh*t happens. For example if the MOS plant had a meltdown(and we all hope and...

Thataway- I'm not saying the new reactors will be paid for by the tax payers although I believe loans will be made available by the government.My point was that in this new bill the companies that build the plants are protected from liability in the event of a "problem".If they are as safe...
