Boat to New Orleans?

oh, wouldn't that be FABULOUS!!! I'd be on that thing several times a year!

I would love to take a boat or train to NOLA, but no dice so far!

Sombody start a charter boat service to NOLA! I'll be first mate. Meantime, you can borrow my canoe.

Canoe it is!!!! Thanks for the info. Things like that I won't know until we arrive--June 5 and counting!

how long of a drive is it from sowal to NOLA??

About 5 hours give or take

That would be a fun trip and definitely better than the drive.

My brother lives in Fairhope and sails a beautiful boat...I'll see whether I can get him inspired. He used to do the Champayne cruises from the Grande

That is so cool....how big is his boat? I used to own a home near the Yacht Club in Montrose. Which is about a block from living in Fairhope.

I must explain that I am not a sailer and never go sailing. Balance problems make it extremely difficult to board a boat. I will ask my brother, aka Captain Jim when I next speak with him,. The moonlight champayne sails always sounded wonderful to me but I would end up having to spend the night aboard after we docked. My brother is the original "old salt sailor" He does not relate to the rules the rest of the world lives by but he is a whole hell of a lot of fun...You might know my brother, Jim Jenkins...he's a hoot and a holler...He usuallly only passes Grayton on his way to the Keys....

Does anybody have an idea how long a trip from Destin to NOLA would take by boat?
