Had some buddies @ Texas A&M that were from Clear Lake. We were running around Clear Lake from 92-95.
I do remember Turtle Club and a couple of other places over in Kemah. I lived less than 1/2 miles from the Crazy Cajun. Best extra rare blackened cajun steak! I was there the same years... Got there in '92 and left in '94. If you ever saw an old green 1960's British Army Land Rover banging around, that was me!
Damn we all might have crossed paths before...
Questions:
I am guessing that is from '88
Sorry, wasn't clear here. I was talking about the little thing at the bottom. Yes, even today's ships use the bulb to generate the bow wave to lower drag.
Probably 1:100 was 6-2 back than.
Square things below water line are called strakes... they were also part of handling and hydrodynamics. If I remember right, they dated back to the Victorian times and an engineer named Isombard Kingdom Brunel. Who created the SS Great Britain and was involved in the early dreadnaught designs.
Tactics were different back than.
Don’t remember your Land Rover however that Turtle Club pic you can see a speed boat in the back well one of my buddies friends had a 34’ Fountain with twin 468 big blocks super charged he said around 725 horsepower each.
@JR_PRO77 Don't Mind Pmclaine... he is worried about getting a case of crotch-eating pants-rabbits from a set of ex-USMC skivvies he bought from Korea... ;-) Some things you just can't disinfect...Fucking Grindr is another site……..
My wife’s grand father was on the Blessman in WW2 and was 5-3, he said it was cramped for him as a boiler man.
Armadillo eggs, rattlesnake eggs, rattlesnake bites, poppers... whatever you call them, who cares how many hours they took off your life... worth it!!Those panels in orange are odd. I wonder if there are some on the starboard side as well.
My brother lives in LaPorte so have been on her a couple times and yes it felt cramped especially in the main gun turret and I'm only 6'-1" and 180
Also T-Bone Tom's in Kemah is still good. Love their Armadillo eggs. For those of you non-Texans they're jalapenos stuffed with smoked brisket and cheese then breaded and deep fried. Cholesterol bullets but hey, you only live once!

Papacitas is still around. We have some really good Tex/Mex here in central TX plus in our neighborhood about once a week this Latina gramma and her grandson drives around selling her homemade tamales. Good stuff!
In Austin I always liked 'Curra's Grill."
Yep. Sleeping berths for overnight stays are cooled. Rest of ship is an oven but that how she was run back then.
Pappacito's. O not an a. I agree with those that miss their food. It's good to try to go back when you visit. Might have to when I go visit my parents this Christmas. Also miss the chicken fried steak in the south. Goodsons in Tomball is really good.
