Just spoke with Kipp Creed who said he's spent the last several days ferrying two archologists to Port Eads in his B31 so they can do a study of any potential historical artifacts prior to the start of the rebuild of the place......SO ITS GONNA HAPPEN!

When is up in the air, but the FEMA money is there and Kipp saw the plans for the new Port Eads.

The only artifacs they found were some old UVI shirts, two strange bottles marked "The Fatal Shot", some undersized grouper skeletons, about 75 spiney lobster heads, and 5 goats baying "Timmmmmmy, Timmmmmmmmy".......

The UVI will return, Faithful.

Thanks, Kipp.

UV

First good news I've had in days!

What about the trash eating goats?

Good news all around!

Now UV, thank you for that vivid description of the items found. I needed that serious humor as I am not feeling all that hot today. That was awesome!

Take care,

Dug

they can do a study

Oh brother, thats as bad as "forming a commitee".

If invited.....I'll be there with two gallons of Don Q Rum and whatever else they let me take inside the plane.

Counsellor, you will be invited, book it.

UV

rum ... did I hear rum ??

i have a soft spot for both rum and UVIs...together....that could work!!

I would love to come to the next one. If invited.

Brew, you be'z in.

UV

Let me know when. So I can get tickets sooner than later.

Vic forgot to mention that the archeologist also found the skeleton of a 300 lb blue marlin(minus the bill that hangs in my camp in Venice). That was Targeted Species' first UVI,and the blue(1st on the boat)died in the fight. We debated about bringing it back into Port Eads. Worried about this group condemning us for killing it. Were we WRONG. Only negative comment we got was"why didn't you fillet it out for smoking". Felt a whole lot better about the fish, and my decision to steward a B31. We will be back and gunning for 2nd place.

I knew those PE goats were going to come into the picture, wouldn't be Port Eads without them for sure.

Kipp, was that the year you were disqualified for running outboards?

i have the photo of that marlin in kipps boat. nice fish!!....

I sure hate to put a damper on the rum celebration but I fear Port Eads is slipping away forever:

The first thing they do is historical survey, then endangered species survey, then they build the fence.

I don't know if I have seen to many conspiracy movies in my life.....but again, would it be unreasonable to think that the Gulf problem was planned......I'm paranoic or what!

katrina was the problem.

What if Katrina was manipulated?

Sorry, but I gotta call doo-doo on that.........

The Plaquemines Parish government issued a press release Friday that the $8.1 million FEMA & Parish funded restoration of Port Eads is going to bids and construction is expected to begin in early 2011.

I'm too dumb to link the press release.

UV

That rates a big WHOOPEE!

Man that would be great, Hope it happens

Mac

Haven't been to the site in many months and this is the first thing that caught my eye!!!!

UV- about them goats.....you know they never forget their first love....
