A few years ago a swing bridge in The Rigolets, the outlet from Lake Pontchartrain, was broken in the closed position. Although there was another exit through the Industrial Canal through New Orleans and the ICW, we did, in a way, feel "trapped". Although that bridge was recently replaced with a 65 foot clearance fixed span, there are still 3 bridges that require opening for us to escape the lake. There is a definite psychological "lift" whenever we clear the last bridge and enter the open waters of Lake Borgne which is essentially a bay off the Gulf of Mexico. Touche' is currently "escaped" in Pensacola, free to roam the Gulf Coast. :) Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA
