Coach,
From my recollection of the launch, we had to cross over a small shell levy with a boat yard just on the other side...First time my dad approached the levy, he parked our wood panel station wagon at the foot of the levy ...no joke! and walked up to the top of levy to ensure he wasn't about to splash our wagon on the other side as all you could see were the tops of the boats on approach...lol, then we proceeded through the boat yard which I thought was pretty cool to see fishermen making repairs to those old wooden hauls as we proceeded to the marina...
We would pass Diamond Island from Bay Adams and hit Meyers Canal and pop out into Grand Bayou and turn left towards the Pass...I remember the string of camps as we approached Bay Bastian on the left and pink does stick out but maybe power of suggestion is speaking...I remember a fellow with the last name Lutz also had a camp along that stretch...
Also, remember that big decrepid camp in the mouth Bay Bastian near the pass with no land around it? I use to imagine how nice it must have been when newly constructed every time we passed it....Great view of the Pass..I once heard a story that an oil company had constructed it back in 50's...
As for Squeaky, I hope all is well and I know he lived a good life down in Empire..
Jimmy
