New Years Pic's On Our Trip To South Padre Is

A harbor boat storage and repair with a sail boat in dry dock. This was the largest that we saw out of the water here. This was at Port Isabel.

Its a nice looking boat and it looked ready to be put back in the water for use.















This appears to be an oil tanker going from Brownsville back to the gulf. My friend Shirley took this and we were about 3/4 of a mile away. The ship is moving if you can tell by the bow wave. This was the only large vessel we saw. And I mean large.

We have more pics to show in the next days of our little excursion to Brownsville, the ship channel, Port Isabel and South Padre Island.

Its a cold day at 57 with overnight low of 43, forecast was 38, and a north wind of 10-15 gusty to 22 so far. Gas here has jumped to $1.69.9 and diesel higher. All this week the weather is cooler and this is the winter here. Once this "winter" has gone it will warm up quickly. I will start watching the weather back home after the middle of Feb for my 2 day trip north to Fort Worth.
