Last night at dinner a local suggested we go to Bayou La Batre, Alabama in search of shrimp boats. They said the bayou was one that survived Katrina pretty much untouched. It is the oldest shrimping town in Alabama. Lot's of boats and very friendly fisherman. They were ok with Pete and I taking photos. One guy said he and his wife stayed aboard their boat for several days during the hurricane. The storm surge was over 12 feet, but they came through with very little damage and went fishing the next week. They stay out for 30 days and burn over 8,000 gallons of fuel during a normal trip. No wonder we pay so much for shrimp :) Taking a tour of the USS Alabama battleship tomorrow! Happy Shooting !
Thanks for following us, the trip is almost over :( Crutch
