Nan and I took a walk around the Beau Rivage casino. They have a nice marina that happens to be closed right now because of the cold weather, but it looks like it would be a nice place to bring a boat in warm weather. When then drove around Biloxi and found a seafood store. We picked up some shrimp, smoked tuna dip, and I also picked up some hot and spicey quail eggs. Nan refused to try the eggs, but I thought they were great.
Yesterday we went on a 1 hour shrimp boat tour. During the tour they had 2 drags for about 15 minutes each to see what we could get. The net is funnel shaped. You can see the 2 metal plates that are like outriggers that spread the opening of the net open. The narrow end of the net is tied closed with a rope. They use several slip knots. They said if they don’t use several knots, dolphins will come by during the drag and either untie or bite through the knot and dump the catch out so they can have a seafood feast. Shrimp migrate, and we only got a couple shrimp because of the time of year. But we did get several anchovies, a couple crabs, a couple baby trout, and a sheephead.
We then drove a half mile inland and I took a video of some more empty lots as a result of Katrina. The shrimp boat captain told us that many houses on the coast were passed down from past generations. Not all owners at the time of Katrina had the money to rebuild, plus hurricane insurance is about $50,000 per year. So the lots remain empty.
I’ve played the $4/$8 hold em game 3 times so far at the Beau Rivage casino. Finally I had a winning day on day 3. I was starting to think I lost my touch, but it turns out I’m still a poker genius. I plan on going back tonight. If I don’t write how I did tonight then you can figure out the results.
