Day of Rest

We awoke to high winds so decided it was a good day to take a break from the beach. Dylan and Dee Dee did, however, enjoy a special Drink N Drift last night. I think Dee Dee wants some Rum Punch…

April 5, 2014 Morgan City and Berwick by Car

The plan was to get up at 6 am, get fuel and head to Morgan City.  When our alarm went off at 6, Josh said we may be going back to bed.  I said what?  He told me that after I went to bed last night, Curtis sent a text telling us that it …

Dogs, Bumpers, Beach… Repeat

I sometimes wonder if the followers of Dylan and Dee Dee’s blog ever tire of seeing dogs on the beach chasing bumpers. But then I realize, who cares! If the crew never tires of it, then why should you?

April 4, 2016 Play Day in Delcambre

The plan for today was to take our dinghies to Avery Island.  Not knowing how much fuel we would use or if we could get fuel once we got there, we decided to take only two dinghies, using the fuel tank from the third dinghy as “get home” fuel.&nbs…

April 3, 2016 Mermentau River to Delcambre

The Bumper Maven

There was no question that Gracie was the bumper maven when it came to our daily romps on the beach. Since she left, Dee Dee has been doing her best to fill those shoes. We think she’s doing a pretty good job.Of course, Dylan says she couldn’t do it wi…

April Fools Day Anniversary

Happy belated April Fools Day.April first is always a very significant day for me. This year it marked the 6th year since my retirement from The Warranty Group. It also marked 44 years since I started work in Chicago with Pat Ryan & Associates, whi…

Waiting For The Storm…

There’s quite a front coming through. Hopefully, it will be short-lived. The crew is still hoping to get to the beach.

This Boat

“Son this boat is going to change your life. I’m not saying it’s wrong, I’m not saying it’s right, you just need to know where you’re about to go. Once those sails catch the wind you can’t turn and go back again. It’s going to set you free and you can’…
