We just wish to inform those who fear to go to the Gulf Coast because of last year's oil spill/ tragedy that all is well. We 3 ladies just completed the first 400 miles of our annual cruise from Lake Pontchartrain to east of Panama City...Florida panhandle. The waters are emerald green as advertised..seafood wonderful as usual, scenery spectacular and a wonderful cruise. The beaches are clean and white. We will leave the boat a couple of weeks in Destin then make the return trip home. We anchored 4 nights and stayed 2 nights in marinas. Boating anywhere is wonderful but this area is beautiful and often challenging for the one at the helm and the navigator. There are miles of open water of the Gulf and some distance within barrier islands.
I write this to help dispel the belief that there is oil everywhere. In areas of our southern Louisiana marshes,,yes..but not widespread. If you wish pics, I will gladly share if you e-mail to me. We recommend this area as a destination..by land or by sea!!!
