Offshore supply vessels. One canal of many at the port. Still rebuilding structures post IDA.
One of our neighbors toys
Should have been a doctor
Or a lawyer
Most of the camps have been rebuilt or are in various stages of repair. Some are still waiting to be demolished.

Great pictures Four. How easy nature destroys what man makes. Damn, I guess we all chose the wrong trade. Oh well, there's always Powerball.

Great pics Four. I went to a newspaper conference in Mobile in the early 2000s. You could see some of the leftover damage from Ivan. We had our last night on the naval base there under tents they set up. Very nice. Carnival cruise ships we could see from our hotel. Your pics brought back memories.

Forgot to mention. I had a client that had a yacht like that one. He sold it for 1.2 million when he moved to The Villages in Florida.

I saw a big fishing boat with 5, 300 hp, Mercurys pushing it. in Gulf Shores AL., a few years back. I have never seen a 450-hp outboard. Chances are, they don't even know the price of gas, or care. It's just the cost of doing business. Life goes on.

Nothing Fly. Just a few odds and ends from their garage sale. That's okay. Other clients have been extremely generous.

Excellent update on IDA recovery. For us Midwesterners it’s hard to comprehend the actuality of hurricanes and their deluge of rain and force of their winds. We have tornadoes and I understand them so much better because of my experiences with them. I don’t wish either on anyone.
Who makes those “Racing 450’s”. Those are huge and I’m sure they cost a bundle. Wow.
Thanks for sharing this story. Hopefully you will be able to give us updates over time.

Mercury makes them Jer. They are huge. That's a 47 ft Freeman they're sitting on. It's a fine offshore machine.
