That segment of the vedio where a pilot boat was coming out was actually where the base was. When you said the guy wouldn't give you a ride i was thinking it sounded just like the locals.

    Fyi, all Riverboat Pilots are related. Rather your immediate famiky member must be a pilot. They make alot of $$$$$
    Man, next time that ever happens in New Orleans
    Contact the New Orleans Habor Police dispatch and mention your issue. Ask for rank.
    Im surprised you were not able to enter the port off Tchoupitoulas St. either by the First Street Entrance, Jackson Ave or Napoleon Ave entrance. Or a few miles up river near State street.
