Bye, Bye old motor…. lots of rust on it but there’s still good parts left in it. That’s why it’s going back to the company that rebuilds them.

This is the 7th weekend fishing event that Port O’Connor hosts for wounded veterans from the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.

To get to Port Aransas from the north, you have to take this free ferry back and forth…..barely takes 5 minutes to cross.

We spent one afternoon fishing on this old bridge over Capano Bay but all we caught were these Gaftop Catfish. Some people love them, we’ve tried them and don’t so we gave ours away.

And another fishing and no catching day in Indianola

Indianola used to be a busy port town but in 1875, a powerful hurricane struck, almost entirely destroying the town. They rebuilt, only to be wiped out in 1889 by another intense hurricane. They didn’t rebuild.

Shilo, the RV park owner’s not so friendly chihuahua. If he wanted you to pet him he’d let you know. Otherwise don’t try to touch him.
