Surf Session Inlet Beach
Mike Sturdivant, Paul Cross, and I had a nice dawn patrol session today. I left Mexico Beach at 5am and joined Mike at Inlet Beach, Florida just east of Rosemary Beach. After about an hour, I took off late on a wave and landed hard on the rail of my board. The board was dinged badly, and my foot was bleeding so I called it a day. I was able to take some good photos of Mike and Paul. -Steve Combs

Porpoise in Mexico Beach
My brother and I were heading out of Mexico Beach, Florida for a fishing trip when this porpoise came in for a closer look.
Louisiana Fishing Trip
Captain Bubba Bird took a group fishing on the Lump off the coast of Grand Isle, Louisiana.
From guest John Cross:
Basically we fished two days in a row on February 24-25, 2008 with two additional days of travel. It takes 6 hours to get to Grand Isle from my house. We stayed in an unattractive but clean hotel called the Sandollar Motel. It was more like a two-bedroom dorm room complete with bunk beds, kitchen and living area. Check out the slideshow:
Total Lunar Eclipse Feb 20, 2008
Feb. 13, 2008: On Wednesday evening, February 20th, the full Moon over the Americas will turn a delightful shade of red and possibly turquoise, too. It’s a total lunar eclipse—the last one until Dec. 2010.
The Sun goes down. The Moon comes up. You go out and look at the sky. Observing the eclipse is that easy. Maximum eclipse, and maximum beauty, occurs at 10:26 pm EST (7:26 pm PST).
