Damn, I didn't know Blimp was still alive. I thought he died years ago.
Dude is a trip.

When I saw who was missing, I said to myself, there is no way that guy goes down like this. His prior resourcefulness is too well documented.

Is this that same Baw that had the legendary interview before the hurricane about riding it out on his boat?

Edit: Not the same baw but this dude is forever a legend in my mind.

So how did he survive? Was he still just standing by his boat the whole time? Did it have water in it? Did he eat the shrimp catching he had raw? Questions

Dude was on a short lasting show on the Discovery Channel called Ragin Cajuns. It was terrible and scripted.. Go figure.

What's the odds this was a publicity stunt..?

from the article

quote:

Cheramie reportedly used crab traps to float from sand bar to sand bar before making it back to dry land.


So... this dude ran aground somewhere out of Venice and walked and swam back to the marina? that is fricking wild.

It's early, but I think Coonass of the Year is a lock for him.

There is a baw out there that stayed in an elevated house just outside the levee in Golden Meadow for Ida. That took some steel balls.
