Hello again.   We are about to leave Bird Island and head northwest to Port Lavaca, Tx.  It is about 170 miles from here so that will be a nice easy trip.
We have enjoyed our stay here but as always we get real tired of dry camping with high humidity and lots of wind.  Wind !  I thought that is why we came here in the first place.  I know but it still gets old.
The sailing was great yesterday but today I am whipped!  I’m just not in shape yet for the season.  Hands and legs are cramping up.  Today we had high winds and the parking lot was full of locals who only come out when it is “nuking.”  Not for me.
We stocked up on food at the local H E B store.  Don’t ask me what that stands for.  It is a lot like Freddys but maybe bigger.  Claudia was beside herself trying to find our favorite goodies.  Too many choices!
We had a nice talk with the proprietor of the windsurf shop here at the park.  He has a son that is an engineer with Delta airlines and is in contract with them for a year in Seattle.  He is already crying the blues for some sunshine and blue skies.  It’s hard to explain just how amazing it is here in So. Texas.
Andie seems to be doing fine although the heat really gets to her.  She told me that just the other day.  Love that dog.
We talked to the Gesslers and they are in Georgia and about to make the turn back home.  They are concerned about which route to take back west because of the threat of Tornadoes.  We’ll keep in touch with them as their travels progress.
We just got a message showing Jonah’s new hair style.  Very nice Jones.  Love you Buddy Boo.
