Feb. 2019,

Port Aransas is a nifty little town- in the winter. Plenty of restaurants, good local seafood, a community theater, pickleball, a community pool, lots of fishing, and miles and miles of beach. It is on Mustang Island, which is part of the barrier reef- a big, long sandbar, essentially. Mostly locals and Winter Texans here this time of year. soon it will be spring break partiers and then the summer tourists.
Fog and wind are the predominant weather features this month! Highs in the upper 60s. We’ve moved to Pioneer RV Park- it’s behind the dunes behind the beach. Big RV park with lots of Winter Texans and lots of activities- cards, Mah Jong, dances, ice cream socials, etc. We have met some folks here through pickleball- we’re teaching them and they are including us in some of the social activities. We hope to be back here for 3 months next winter.

 

Our site is next to a “birding pond” and we have had at least a dozen different species to watch. We think these are Ibis.

 

We both made the local paper- The South Jetty- not much news around here! lol

Although this is much controversy over a dredging proposal for the channel to allow HUGE tankers in- sounds like home 🙂
