Saturday was a day of mishaps here. Early in the day I saw one of Don Knight's friends sink his trailer in the boat ramp. That was the first time I saw a tandem axle go down. The low tide makes our ramp way too short and the dropoff is deep. A tow truck came out and winched the trailer back on the ramp. That was a quick $40. When that was done, I looked across the marina and saw Bradley's boat going down in the slip behind 505. Only two ropes were keeping it afloat. I called Andy and she was shopping downtown. She called their son, Randy, who was with Brad over on Lamar. They hurried over and bailed out the water. Come to find out,Randy had put the hull plug in the live well drain.
Fishing continues very slow. Pat(602) did get his ten trout on the St. Joe shoreline on Friday. He said he had to measure only two. Brad and Randy went to Cedar Bayou with a guide, Starvin' Marvin, and got their limit of Black Drum today. Pat and Jimmy and Barbara and Jack are here and the flounder better beware. Today Barbara snagged two and Pat one.
Marv and Rita Kreuter left yesterday. Marv said that they left early because Rita had developed bad allergies.
I have not yet tried the Cancun Cantina, the Back 40, replacement. I heard that they now have a new manager and the food is better. The cook from the now closed Duck Inn is now there. Their marquee says they have brought back the popular 2-2-2 breakfast.
The cuts ants seem to be under control. The bayfront shrubs are doing much better.
