Brian – Do you know for sure that Bay Point will be open tomorrow (Tuesday – 7th)?

Nice! I sure hope the river behaves itself this year, we don’t need another summer like last year.

I was there yesterday afternoon and they had it posted to close last night…

Joe the manager of Ol Miss Marina posted this.

This was his last post.
Last Thursday or Friday they posted it was going to close on 4/6.

River forecast is looking better! Bay Point boat launch should stay open we will keep you updated.

I’m as sure as anyone can be on the river.

Thanks for the update Brian!

PS a friend that didn’t believe me just drove by Bay Point at noon…

It’s open.

Whats more shocking.

1) It’s open.
2) You have a friend.

Just kidding.

Jez use a different carton of milk on your Wheaties tomorrow Dutch!

Even a old fat guy like me can hit ’em when you tee them up like that.

Forecast shows a crest of 13.1 and we’re at 13.01 this morning.

Just enough water to float two fat guys down river with all the other debris.

A bit more serious now…there has been a LOT of logs, trees ect coming down stream. Use your normal spring time caution.
