Headed down Thursday night. Holla! Who else will be there this weekend? I know....50,000 of our closest friends. Anyone from here?
Give a holler.

Last year, they ate my ace up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Dog Fly” Facts
Fly season in the Florida panhandle is generally from August through October.
The flies are “stable flies” or “dog flies.” They lay their eggs in the farm country of Alabama on manure or rotting vegetation such as might be found in a farm environment. Apparently, winds bring them south to the panhandle beaches.
The flies are blood suckers, and prefer the blood of cows and pigs, but clearly do not turn away from humans when available.
Lose sight of land, lose the dog flies.:Rockon
Probably traveled with you. Drive faster.
If it's doable, I'll put the boys on some seabass and grunts so they can stretch a string.
I bet he trailers at 10-12 mpg rather than boating at 1-2 mpg.
I mentioned Atlantic disturbance Katina earlier, but it appears, it will track generally on the course of Irene or more easterly in the vicinity of Bermuda. No hurricane for the Gulf next week is a good thing, but a look at the forecast leads one to believe our area might be less than user friendly over LD, anyway. 'Hope it doesn't mess up anyone's plans, but I will say we need the rain, terribly.
If you need anything while y'all are down here, Brad..give me a shout. :thumbsup
Thanks Quinn. Hope we see some if y'all there.
It's a nice ride out of Panacea and much closer to get back to the trailer if the winds and seas get snotty.
