Sorry I have not been able to get up with you on the middle bay light trip. DOLORES has only left the dock twice sine Biloxi, both times very short runs. Time, time, where art thou time.

We bought a ticket on the drawdown at the Biloxi museum thing. Made it to the final 5 and got to split 10K five ways. 2K return on a 100 buck investment ain't bad.

Speaking of tickets, what happened with the fish class raffle? Never heard if they sold enough to have the drawing or not.

Hey, there, stranger! Summer's not over yet--we can still have a date to meet in the bay! We did not sell enough tickets for the raffle--however, we were given a Fish boat and the possibility exists we may give it away. Will know after this month's meeting. If we don't your money will be refunded. Good to hear from you--congrats on success in Biloxi! Keep in touch....

Don't know about the other ticket holders but I have no problem with them drawing for a used boat (assuming it floats - got enough of the other kind already :D ).

We may have to wait till fall for our lunch raftup. These thunderstorms pop up so quick and it looks like they will go on forever. So much rain that from the pier back for about 60-70 feet my yard has just about turned to mush. Water coming up out of the ground.

Hopefully will see you in Madisonville if not before. Pel

You betcha--my motor is in the shop (again) so it will be a while before I am ready to head out. Maybe September will be drier--my place looks like a jungle and my salt water marsh is very fresh. Looking forward to Madisonville. Been trying to paint the catboat for months--almost through. We'll meet up sooner or later. The Fish boat floats--don't know details yet--but will pass your opinion on at our meeting. Haven't heard anything about Mark lately....
