[Judy Patsch]

As promised, here are some photographs to go with the word pictures I posted last week when I was in New Orleans. Please see my thread, Live from the Levee - New Orleans for more details on these.
1) Here is the Dumaine St. Sandbar and Beach, as seen from the Moonwalk. The upper exposed end came within 75 feet or so of the NATCHEZ.
2) Here was the most that was ever showing - just about 10 feet or so stayed underwater in the middle. This is taken next to the roof bell on the NATCHEZ. The ship, registered in Vanuatu, is at the Gov. Nicholls St. wharf.
3) "Er... Captain, I think we've run aground.".... Capt. Don Houghton landing at Toulouse St., and no, we didn't go aground, we had another 50 feet or so between us and the sandbar. That circular item on the window is a high-speed windshield wiper.
