John, unless you are into gambling, keep going a few more hours to Port Arthur. There are places to anchor out that are totally secluded (you can swim with alligators) or go in to the municipal marina. All the bars and restaurants are within walking distance and everyone, even law enforcement, are friendly.
We are thinking we could make the SF, as we have decided to head for Port Aransas, in a week or two. I will let you know once we are FOR SURE headed back
Think ol' Dimer is thinking of Lake Arthur, east of Lake Charles...

Kev, better late than never! When you arrive, you will find me on Bakers boat (for obvious reasons).
I will be arriving from the east, so can't join the flotilla! The Harvey lock is still closed (until the 13th) so we have slowed down to arrive in New Orleans the 14th...Doug's Hacienda, Marina and Restaurant the 17th, Lake Arthur and then Pleasure Island/Spring Fling. Well....that's the plan.
Baker, I had something similar and took the heat exchangers to Land and Sea. They had to press the center sleeve out. I found more than a handful of impellor bits and pieces which I assume came from the PO as I change mine on schedule.
They did a three part pickle, used that special grease and it went together in about a minute. BIG difference and that was at about 1400 hrs.
As for Lake Arthur, just do your thing and if we meet up ....great otherwise see ya at Spring Fling. Are you going to the Captains briefing? If you do can you please ask for my slip assignment?
Much appreciated!
