That sounds like a great time Scott! They did a fine job also.

I used to live across the river from New Orleans. I miss it, I used to love going crawfishing in the bayou. Just find a shallow spot of water and set up the traps, in 2-3 hours I'd have a 5 gallon bucket half full of the tasty little buggers. What I didn't like was the public schools, I got there for my senior year and found out that they were all girl and all boy. How is the new kid on the block supposed to meet girls??? lol...

Hello Malfond and Scott.
The PT658 is still operating and giving reduced amount of rides by prior arrangement. I am fairly certain PT305 in New Orleans temporarily shut down its PT boat operations until further notice. So the 658 is now your only option for your bucket list. Or I almost forgot the Liberty Air Museum in Port Clinton Ohio has the PT Vosper boat that may be ready soon for rides.
