Newbie in Slidell, LA
Since this afternoon the happy owner of a 1979 Mainship 34 II. I hope to learn a lot from all you old hands. Thanks for having me.

Welcome from an ex-Slidell person. We lived aboard in Oak Harbor Marina for several years - up until Katrina.
Between Steve and Dimer2, you are in good company.

Welcome aboard Dutchman, I keep my boat near Springfield, about halfway
between Hammond and Baton Rouge. Does your marina have transient slips?

Welcome aboard Dutchman!
As most aboard will tell you that have been there- Phil's Marina over at Oak Harbor is well worth the trip for a great seafood meal. "Bow tie Pasta" with the lump crab meat is my favorite appetizer- followed by a pound of "Royal Reds".
Have you nailed down your boating plans yet??

We have 4 active cruisers at our marina over 90
that would give me a lot of years to cruise

I have the same work schedule, and we are not old....just well seasoned
I bought my boat on Lake Pontchartrain (South Shore Marina). You are well located to go East or West.
