All of mine could swim laps before they made it to kindergarten. I wanted them to have a chance if they fell overboard between here and Ship Island. They all ended up doing four years on the swim team. A couple of them still swim today. When you live on the water, teaching kids to swim should be right behind teaching them to walk. Something few people understand is that swimming overboard in the ocean is a whole different animal than the pool -- no shallow end and the water moves.

I remember fishing at ship island as a kid. My whole family are rag baggers and preffered sailing, but fortunately my parents bought a 24’ Sea Ray and we would camp out at Cat island when it wasn’t too hot. A few times I talked them into going to the Chandeleur Islands but that was a big deal. My dad tried but we would actually troll for redfish, but they were so thick we could actually catch them on a planer and drone spoon.

BB- any chance you remember a charter boat called JP? It was about a 46’ Post I think at Gulfport Marina. It wasn’t until my brother got a job as a deckhand one summer that we started to figure out how to fish. Loved my time there.

No, don't remember her. This was a great place to grow up as far as fishing and hunting and pool. As a teen, my friends and I spent weeks camping and fishing on Horn and Ship Islands. Spent many nights in the abandoned Ship Island Lighthouse until it burned down. No better place to pass a night next to the ocean -- better than any condo I've ever stayed in.
