day 61: catchin fish n'at








Between last night and this morning I don't know which was crazier.  A guy named Walter pulled up with his fishing boat and gave us some beers.  Next thing I know he leaves,and comes back hammered with 4 huge fish.  2 buffaloe and 2 carp.  Walt cleaned the carp for us and we threw it on the fire.  Amazingly good, surprisingly it was.  Then this southern bumpkin named Kayla showed us how to clean a carp.  It was quite a show.  This girl might be on TV some day no joke.  The carp was pretty good too.

Anyway we slept under a pavilion in hammocks. It stormed like the dickens, and we're supposed to get more of the same tonight.  The wind was so loud it sounded like a freight train coming through.  And the tin roof made it sound like, well, the tin roof sound actually helped put me to sleep somehow even though lightening was hitting just across the river.  Storms in the gulf Coast are something to be weary of, luckily  I got a tarp.

413 miles to go
Our goal is to hit the French Quarter by the 24th of October, 2014 years after Jesus.

Wind speed currently -10-15 and increasing
