Post Man Dies Around Bayou Pigeon Yesterday
Anyone know this guy? I wonder if he would have had his life jacket on, would it had helped. Or if he died from exposure or something else. It was really warm last night, but I do know that sometimes that does not matter. Any thoughts on this?

Very sad. No life jacket.

Brother in law and friend were transporting heavy stove to camp on pointed bow skiff with 40 outboard last week and took off from launch when the bow nose dived sending the boat sharp left and them to the floor. Took on water and almost sank. They put on life jackets after that.

I got thrown out of T als Dugas skiff when we angled through a wake. It snapped so hard to the left that it shot me straight out. I was sitting on a cooler when this happened.
