Police after Waltzing Matilda?

January 24, 2010
After spending some time in New Orleans, Nathan set sail on Lake Pontchartrain, the big 630-square mile saltwater lake just north of the city. About mid-day today he called us to tell of a seaplane that had been flying low overhead and that he could see flashing blue lights on a boat coming toward him. The less than stellar reputation of some members of the New Orleans Police Department initially was one of the reasons he had planned to avoid New Orleans and he called to give us a heads up that it looked like he was about to be stopped by the police. Then he hung up. About twenty or thirty minutes later called back to say that it had been a Coast Guard vessel that approached him. They were on a search mission for a downed military training jet. there were no police involved. (correction by N8, I was approached by two Sheriff's department boats, buzzed by a Sheriff's float plane and the Coast Guard made an announcement by VHF16, telephone looses some in translation)
He’s on his way toward Biloxi, Mississippi, planning to arrive in about a week (dependent, as always, upon the weather)
If you’d like to mail him anything, his next postal stop will be
Nathan Landry General Delivery United States Post Office 1581 Bienville Boulevard Ocean Springs, MS 39564
