[quote=rattlenhum]Rider_55: I did not know about the BP berm....please let us know what you find out. If it's anything like the one they built 8 - 10 years ago, one good storm will take it out. Also, be aware that DI is not a typical beach resort area. A lot of the houses are locals' primary homes, and they seem to have eyes in the back of their heads! Don't assume you can launch at any ole vacant lot or at one of those streets that dead ends at the gulf. You'll likely get a visit from the police, and you don't want to spend your vacation in the pokey at Bayou La Batre! (Honestly, if I lived there, I'd want to look out for my town, too!)
golfdad75: I used to call it Sand Island, too, but on the charts (http://www.charts.noaa.gov/OnLineViewer/11377.shtml) it's labelled Pelican Island, and Sand Island is a smaller (submerged?) island farther out. Maybe everyone calls it Sand Island regardless? Too bad about DeSoto....is it illegal to launch there? We used it a couple of years ago for the Dauphin Island Race....sweet spot near the airstrip.[/quote]
