I REALLY LIKE THE NEW SITE. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL I FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE ALL THE NEW OPTIONS.
I ALSO WANTED TO RELATE WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEKEND ABOARD "SEA-WISE" . LAST SATURDAY SIX OF US "GUYS" WENT OUT ON A LITTLE FISHING TRIP. WE SET SAIL OUT OF MADINSONVILLE LOUISIANA. WE THOUGHT WE WOULD MAKE A RUN OUT TO LAKE PONTCHATRAIN AND TRY OUR LUCK AT A LITTLE FISHING. NOW LAKE PONTCHATRAIN IS NOT WHAT YOU WOULD CALL A HOT SPOT FOR FISHING. IT’S KINDA HIT OR MISS FOR THE MOST PART. BUT WHAT MADE THIS TRIP REALLY SPECIAL WAS THIS. ONE OF THE “GUYS” IS CONFINED TO A WHEELCHAIR. ROGER IS ABOUT 45 YEARS OLD AND ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO WHILE ON A MISSION TRIP TO AFRICA HE CAME DOWN WITH WHAT THE DOCTORS THOUGHT WAS A RARE TYPE OF “MS” AFTER A YEAR AND A HALF OF ALL SORTS OF TEST, TREATMENTS, CHEMO, RADIATION ETC. THEY NOW ARE SAYING “WERE JUST NOT SURE WHATS WRONG” SO HERE’S A GUY 45 YEARS OLD WITH TWO DAUGHTERS AND A LOVELY WIFE, CONFINED TO A WHEELCHAIR. HE CAN HARDLY SPEAK. HAS TO BE HELPED TO DO MOST ANYTHING. HE WAS A BIT DEPRESSED TO SAY THE LEAST. HE DIDN’T WANT TO VISIT, DIDN’T WANT TO GO OUTSIDE. HE SEEMED TO HAVE GIVING UP. LIKE MANY OF US HE LOVES FISHING AND BOATS. THURSDAY BEFORE LAST WE APPROACHED HIM ABOUT A LITTLE FISHING TRIP, HE SEEMED TO PERK UP A BIT. THE NEXT DAY WAS FRIDAY AND THE PLANS WERE BEING MADE. HE WAS PUMPED, WE WERE PUMPED. HE HAD HIS WIFE TAKE HIM TO THE LOCAL WAL-MART FOR HIS FISHING LIC. EARLY SATURDAY DAVID AND I WENT ON AHEAD EARLY, TO THE MARINA. WE WANTED TO HAVE THE BOAT FUELED AND READY TO GO WHEN ROGER ARRIVED. YOU HAD TO BE THERE TO APPREACATE WHAT HAPPENED NEXT, WHEN WE WERE ALL STANDING AROUND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY TO GET HIM FROM THE WHEELCHAIR INTO THE BOAT. I HAD SEA-WISE SNUBBED UP TIGHT AGAINST THE DOCK. ROGER WITH HIS ONE SYLLABLE AT A TIME KEPT SAYING “JUS THRO ME IN DA BOAT” AS ONE OF THE GUYS WAS IN MID SENTENCE, SUGGESTING THAT MAYBE WE SHOULD GET A LIFE JACKET ON ROGER FIRST. ROGER IN ONE SWIFT MOVE EXTENDED HIS LEGS STRAIT OUT IN FRONT OF HIMSELF ROLLED HIS CHAIR NEXT TO THE GUNNEL, DROPED HIS LEGS INSIDE THE COCKPIT AND PULLED HIMSELF ONTO THE EDGE OF THE BOAT. I’LL TELL YA IF THERE HAD NOT BEEN TWO GUYS IN THE BOAT IN FRONT OF HIM, HE WOULD HAVE FELL FACE FIRST IN THE COCKPIT. WE ALL LAUGHED, IT SEEMED HE HAD TO GET INTO THAT BOAT BY ANY MEANS POSSIBLE. IT WAS AS IF ONCE HE WAS IN THE BOAT WE COULD NOT CHANGE OUR MINDS. NOW THINK ABOUT THIS, HE IS A GUY THAT HAS DONE NOTHING FOR THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF BUT GO TO THE DOCTORS OFFICE. OR GO TO THE HOSPITAL FOR SOME KIND OF TREATMENT,AND ONLY GET SICKER AS TIME WENT ON. AND HERE HE NOW FINDS HIMSELF SQUARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COCKPIT OF A 34 HATT WITH ALL HIS BUDDYS. I DON’T THINK I HAVE TO TELL YOU HE WAS ONE HAPPY CAMPER. I DON’T REALLY KNOW WHO RECEIVED THE MOST FROM THE DAY. WE FISHED FROM 9:00AM UNTIL 5:15PM. HE WAS THE LAST ONE TO PUT HIS ROD DOWN. WE DID NOT CATCH ONE FISH ALL DAY. BUT WE ALL CAUGHT A BLESSING. I HAVE TRIED TO INCLUDE A LINK TO A LITTLE SLIDE SHOW ONE OF THE GUYS MADE ABOUT THE TRIP. IM NOT SURE IF I DID IT RIGHT. JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU GUYS ABOUT THE TRIP. IT WAS A TRIP I WILL NEVER FORGET. IF THE FOLLOWING LINK DON’T WORK I WILL POST THE PICTURES LATER WHEN WE ARE ALL ABLE TO. SORRY FOR THE LENGTH OF THE POST.
