How's the water - in Padre Bay
Time to relax in my other floatie.
Water was great!
Floaties are fun - nice cup holders too.
Guess we might as well all get in.
So, how about a fast ride on a jetski ... what a blast. Had a spinout dip too!!
Think they are up to something ... dancing in our near future?
Nice evening shot.
Ahh, our nice little 59' Admiral Houseboat. Leaving Padre Bay.
Our trusty fisherpersons are on the cruise too. Mo catches mo.
Our resting place the night before - Gunsight - Nice wall.
Sun is out but the clouds are ominous.
Well, a hole in the clouds make this a wonderful shot.
But our path looks very wet ... sheer rain and lots of lightening.
This is where we want to go but lightening just struck the top of this bluff!! I'm on the big boat now.
And the rain is coming down!
Get the picture.
Just crusin.
Ditto ... looking for a spot to park this big Houseboat.
Ah Ha, we found a good spot Bob, can you park it right here?
