[sal cimino]

great looking of both boats and "LADIES"..

[CAPM KURT]

thanks. Yeah, it was tough job, but somebody had to do it. I missed half the scenery just taking the darn pictures for everybody.

By the way in case you don't know, you can CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO ENLARGE IT.

I think more people may be going up river since Rabbit Island beach is getting dirtier from the dredging from what i heard. We didn't go there today though. Maybe there's someone we could call about doing a better job of keeping the dredging pipes from leaking. Probably would not do any good though.

Had a good day on the water Saturday anyway. Stopped at the east fork sandbar near 171 launch, and at Derouen's on the west fork. Had several boats there. Good food at both places.

Kevin R.
Your email you sent was no good. Copied and pasted it so no mistakes. Send it again.
I'll also send you all the "good" pictures of the Royal Purple Poker run that I couldn't put on the site.

This is the sand bar in the lake on Lake Maurepas. There's a band playing on barges, and some of the crowd gets out of their boats and walk around and gather near the center where the band is. You can walk out another 100yds or so until it gradually gets deeper. Sandy bottom. A few small spots have clam shells so where sandals. If you look close at the picture on the left, you can see the swim deck on my boat. She comes in handy when you need a cup holder, haha!

I know many of you from Lake Charles won't know Crazy Charlie, but a few will. He owned Blood River Landing near, or in, Springfield. Blood River comes off of the Tickfaw River not too far from the Prop Stop. He also was the winner on the reality show on TV called Giligan's Island maybe 3 or 4 years ago. They said he never complained, just got it done, whatever it took. I don't know how old he was, but I know he must have had the "old school" attitude as I like to refer to it. Maybe in his late 50's or early 60's. But I think he kept very busy and did a lot of things in his area, especially having to do with water. From what I know I think he started the Tickfaw 200 Poker Run, now getting to be one of the biggest around the country, and many other events raising money for his town. I believe he attempted or made some kind of record crossing the gulf of mexico in an offshore type boat. He loved the water I think even more than most of us do.

He was in a motorcycle accident on Hwy 22 near Springfield Tuesday, July 7th. I heard a car turned or pulled out front of him and he didn't live for very long. Sorry to hear this for a fellow boater. Me and Angelle met him once at Sunbun's on Lake Maurepas. So I don't know him, I know of him, and that he was well known in his area. I just wanted to let those of you know that knew of him. Probably those that go to the Tickfaw area.

we will be out on the lake and river sat. troy will be out also. not sure whw else but we heard several boats will be there.

[CAPM KURT]

Hey Kirk. Me and Angelle were going sunday. Doesn't look to good for saturday. Just bumped it up to 60% chance. Hopefully be a little better sunday.

Thanks for watchin my back the other day(night) on the east fork, with the low gas tank. Ran pretty low by the time we got to the launch. At least I know my gauge works pretty good now. Ran about 30 minutes past the E mark. Good to know.
