In summer I used to go to NO to stay with my great aunt and uncle. My uncle used to take me to work with him at the Cotton Exchange Building. After work, we'd go to the lakefront to his boathouse and take the cigarette into Lake Ponchartrain. Everybody wanted to race us all the time. Afterward he would make huge circles in the lake to make a big wake and we'd jump the wake and he'd just laugh. I loved it. Good times.

Fishing on the dock at Cotton Bayou/Orange Beach pre '82 and seeing no one else and hearing nothing but the waves crashing on the shore and the sea bouy (which is a mile offshore) making this low "tug boat" horn moan as it would rise and fall with the waves. You could always tell if the gulf was rough or not by listening to that sound. No AC at the cabin but usually had a good breeze so you would pin the windows up. I never remember it being uncomfortable. 9 people usually sleeping on that small sleeping porch. Good times.
