The Gulf

[I make oil]

GRRRRRRRR After reading this post I decided to give it a try last night. For some reason I decided that the best way to run was out of the Calumet Cut down the Wax. (It looks good on the maps!) Wrong answer. I have duck hunted out of the wax all my life I figured it would be an easy run just head on out and keep on going south past the Eugene Islands and cut left towards the platforms. NEVER NEVER try that. It took me two hours to get across with the dang sand bars and into the channel. I ended up at EI 57 and the water was very fresh and dirty. Started heading out deeper and it was getting later and later after the mess crossing the bay so I just said screw it and headed in down the river, cut across the Intercoastal back to the Cut to pick up. I will NEVER attempt to go out of the Wax again! I will only run the river it is just to big a PITA to do it any other way. I am no Newbee I have run this area all my life but this is my first trip across the bay that way. I have to say to anyone who is even thinking about doing something like that. DON'T DO IT!
