Still hanging on and waiting.

There is a lot of confusion about "THE BURN". They are not going to set the entire gulf on fire. It will be confined and controlled. Much of our land has already been boomed. This is above and beyond the million plus feet of oil skimming booms out there working on the actual spill. Just have to take one day at a time.

At least at this time we have a nice home to stay in. This will be a cake walk compared to what we went through in 2005. Worse case sinerio I could let them know I have a 100 ton license and run a crew boat for anybody down here. There are not enough captains to run the boats needed for this. The days straight and hours required do not look like what I would want to do at this time in my life.

There is a use for boats like mine just to move the media around and it looks like I will be doing some of that. Not realy getting involved right now. Tomorrow may be another story. Kind of on a wait and see.

Life is Good!

Fishing ain't right now. The inshore fishing is still going full bore at this time. Specks and reds doing well.

Fishing is not a matter of life or death. It's more important than that.
