We picked up our Cousins Scott & Darlene with our truck in Long Beach, MS the day before we left and dropped their truck off at the Pass Christian Harbor. Karen cooked for Darlene, Scott, Kerry, Chris and us a nice pre-departure dinner & Chris took our truck home with him.
We departed Madisonville 6:30 a.m. on Sept 1, 2010 with Scott & Darlene aboard. We had a really nice cruise through Lake Pontchartrain and the Rigalees out into Mississippi Sound. Where we ran into the only thunder storm along the gulf coast. Sort of nasty but at least the seas were coming off the bow quarter.
Scott & Darlene took us out to Salutee's Restaurant, a nice Italian place with a 2 for 1 happy hour. We were all VERY happy by the time the fantastic dinner was served. They had Vodka Martinis and we had Long Island Ice Tea.
The next day my Aunt Bonnie came by the boat for a visit and took us over to Scott & Darlenes' house for dinner with Uncle Dick. After dinner Karen, Scott & I took off for a little Flounder Gigging along the beach front. After about 2.5 hours we had not seen a single Flounder so we went over to Shaggy's Bar at the Marina for a couple of beers.
Next day we went over to the fuel dock and Uncle Dick came by for a visit. That night Scott & Darlene took us over to the Island View Casino. Where Darlene started playing the slot machines. Before dinner she was up $130. They treated us to a great steak dinner. I broke a tooth on the salad. The steak just melted in my mouth. After dinner we played video poker at the bar and drank Long Island Ice Tea while Darlene won another $1,240 on the slot machines in about a half hour.
