Kap's Tickfaw 200 Revisited Review 2015

[HB Vic]

Kap did you boat at night?? Just curious how long you were on the water during the day and if you made it back before nightfall?

I would imagine since its more of a river, getting lost would be tough. Or would it?

Well we usually head out around 10:00 A.M. everyday and with summer days that makes for a long day of boating. I usually made it back early like around 5:30 or 6:00 P.M. The rationale is to get a good parking place at the marina. Parking is tough for a fully capped outboard boat from the paint damage to wing plates sticking out on the back. Plus, I do not drink and boat so I want to put the boat up and have my first cocktail and relax for the evening festivities that go on all night.

I would not be comfortable boating at night with a crew not my cup of tea.

Kap, a quote from Crazy Charlie "If you haven't been on Lake Maurepas on a full moon, you don't know what your missing, it's just you, God, and Jimmy Buffet". It's a beautiful place to see at night

Thank you Jeff. I've been on a couple lakes and rivers at night under the moonlight and it was amazing. I don't know if I'd try it on a body of water I was unfamiliar with, but I guess that all depends.

When it's super dark and the moon is super bright, you don't need lights. It's kinda like flying at night, which I actually prefer to flying during the day simply because you can see all the planes so much sooner. Granted boating is different, but not that much different.

Kap?

TY for sharing Kappie, looks like a killer vacation...

Well when I have the responsibility of a crew. I almost always do not boat at night. On a pontoon cruising at night in the Bayou would be amazing even more so with a spotlight I hear all the critters are out.

We were witness to all kinds of wildlife at the Funhouse and it was far more entertaining .

The Cajun food is hard to beat I spoke to Joey this morning and told him LOTO is also an amazing venue but the food of South Louisiana cannot be beat. That is saying a lot. I would also challenge anyone to point out a poker run with better food than South Louisiana. If you have one...let me know. I will come and visit at the first opportunity.
