Sailboats on Lake Pontchartrain

It occurred to me that I’ve posted a lot of photos of the Mississippi River, but I haven’t posted any of Lake Pontchartrain. Well, here are some pictures of the sailboats on the lake. When I was younger, my father was an active member of the Southern Yacht Club. He loved to sail. Many a Sunday he took me, and my siblings out to the club for the afternoon. Sometimes we even went sailing with him or his friends.

Breakwater Drive

Here are some photos I took along Breakwater Drive. Several folks found spots to fish in the area. Notice the remains of a pier. My guess is that Hurricane Katrina was the culprit.

More Shots from the Breakwater Drive Peninsula

Here are some more shots from the Breakwater Drive peninsula. And I included a distance shot of the peninsula from the Lakefront.

Lakefront Steps

When I shot these photos there were barriers in the road along the Lakefront. This is my first trip out this way since I've been back from Katrina. A sign on the barriers indicated some repair work is still needed along this stretch.
