Day Five: Louisiana, Timbalier and Wine Islands

Today, by multiple individuals, I was called 'fearless.' However flattering this may be, or seem to be, this is not the case. I may very well be one of the biggest cowards at times. Although I may have moments were I come across as courageous, I am still human, just like everyone else. 

That being said, today when I got off the boat docked on the shore of Timbalier Island at 9:00 AM, I decided to turn over a new leaf, at least for the time being. This trip has the potential to be the most eye opening and beautiful experience that I have ever had, and I am not going to let one moment pass by with regret. May that mean jumping off a boat, scaling rocks, mounting the front end of a boat, walking through miles of flocks of birds, holding yabies, or wading through waist deep mashes, Ive decided that I am going to go for it. No questions asked. Im going to live in the now and not worry about what dangers could await me or what opinions people may form. Sure, its not the safest approach, and I have already sustained many injuries in doing so, but I cant let that stand in my way. 

During my time here, I am fearless.
