Port Aransas II

1-21-16:  We’ve been here in Port Aransas, TX. on the Gulf Coast for two weeks now and it’s been a very nice.  We’ve had sunny skies, foggy days, and over cast skies.  Temps have been in the 40s-50s at night and 60s during the day.  When the sun shines it’s very nice.  When the fog hangs around all day it’s the pits.  We had a great day of kayaking this week.  We did see dolphin but not up close and personal like last year.  The tides were high and we had very calm waters.  Perfect for kayaking.  Fishing has  been pretty good most days.  Even when I don’t catch fish, sitting on a beautiful beach reading a good book, watching the waves crash on shore, people watching, and watching my pole for fish on, that’s life.  We are leaving Port Aransas tomorrow and heading 4.5 hours up the coast to Galveston Island.  There we will meet up with a couple we met last year in Galveston.  Brad and Janine Bachelor are from Michigan and since meeting them last year they have sold their farm and bought a 5^th wheel and have gone full time RVing as well.  They are a cool couple.  We’ll be in Galveston for a week before heading off to Orange Beach, AL (February) and then Cedar Key, FL. (March).  Below are pictures from our stay in Port Aransas.  Enjoy.  We hope you are enjoying traveling with us.
