Day 111: Destructive Winds?


Point Cadet Marina, looking SE

Thursday and Friday's forecast warned of "destructive winds."  I'm guessing that destructive winds are way over the 20kts we saw today.  That being the case, Nellie's very happy being securely tired to a dock.  The fairly well protected Biloxi Bay was full of whitecaps.  I can't imagine what it was like in the Mississippi Sound. 


First Course (of Ten)

But then why go cruising when it's 1/2 price buffet day at the Beau Rivage Casino?  They had deep fat fried corn on the cob.  No kidding.  It was actually pretty good.


Stilt House

I don't know if this was the last house standing or the first house rebuilt; either way, Katrina certainly changed the landscape.

At Point Cadet Marina.  Zero miles today (not counting all the bouncing in the slip) and holding at 849nm for the trip.  DBH
