On the Beach

We moved to Port Aransas yesterday. Our park, named "On the Beach", is--on the beach! Actually we are about 200 Ft from the beach and can see it from our front window. We are actually on the Gulf of Mexico side of Mustang Island. This island is one of the barrier islands that protect Aransas Bay and Corpus Christi Bay. Port Aransas sits on the channel that is the entry to Corpus Christi Bay. Although Port Aransas can be accessed from the south by highway, it can only be reached from the North by ferry. The channel is only about 1/4 mile wide but does not have a bridge. We took the ferry (see below). Be sure and click on the link to the map that shows where we are to see the island.

We are not alone here--it's Spring Break!! It's fun to watch all the college kids having a good time. We drove out on the beach yesterday and it was neat to see all fun going on. The beach is miles long so there is room for all.
This morning we woke to a heavy fog. Not as many beach goers today! The fog never burned off today but it is still 75 degrees.
Hopefully tomorrow we will go out and take some pictures. Jim is looking into trying the fishing. Everyone we talk to says there is lots of good fishing--It would be nice to have fresh caught dinner.
