Hey Y'all, I crossed the Sabine around 1am Wednesday morning. Made it to Harahan at 4am. Not bad time at all. Had my Bada's funeral today. It was quite somber until the party. She was quite clear about the fact that she wanted a party after her burial. Nobody would turn her down. We were all still kind of bummed until we had a few drinks and started telling stories about her. Before long we were all laughing and celebrating her life, just as she wanted.

Dad is busy with business all weekend and his boat is in Pass Christian. We plan on fishing out of Biloxi with an old friend on his new boat on Monday. We should be hitting Cat Island. Anybody have any advice for fishing over there? When I was a kid, I'd climb over all the barriers on the piers in the Pass and catch fish off the end of them, but I've never been out to the islands.

Tuesday we'll be heading back to La. with Dad's boat and hopefully we'll hit Empire. How's things going down there Capt. Matt? Gotta at least meet up with you and have a brew. Hopedale, Let me know if you could use a partner one of these days. - Sandy
