Port a

Today’s entertainment, a drive down the beach by the jetty. It has been windy the last couple days while the cold front passed through. When the wind blows like that, we get some good sand drifts that build up by the dunes. It’s not okay to drive in the dunes, but if some sand drifts out over the part of the beach you normally drive on, you get to do whatever you want. A sedan and minivan had already accidentally found the deep sand and were not having any fun at all, so we got to use the tow strap and drag them out.

We always carry a tow strap and shovel, in case someone needs help (including us).

A big tanker passed, dolphins playing in the bow wake, while we were parked watching the channel. It looks like most tankers pull into the port of Corpus Christi loaded and leave empty.
