Riding Katrina: How St. Bernard Shrimper Survived (NPR)

From NPR News:

by Melissa Block
All Things Considered, August 28, 2008

"Shrimper Ricky Robin rode out Hurricane Katrina on the trawler he built himself nearly 30 years earlier. Over the course of the storm, he helped rescue people from the parish and gave them food and shelter on his boat. Three years after Katrina, Robin's story is the basis of a new book, The Good Pirates of the Forgotten Bayous, by Ken Wells".
