Adventure Location: Rockport, Texas
A lot of running around but there were no good adventures again. It could have been really exciting at the Port Aransas jetty this morning. The waves were breaking across the top of the jetty. My mind stayed in reasonable mode and did not make me try to go out on the jetty. The current was running outbound very strongly and the wind was straight up the channel inbound. That made for some unruly swells in the channel and most boats had to be careful to navigate them safely. This large sailboat was having a very difficult time for some reason.
Later in the afternoon it was time to explore a new to me yak launching site. It is easy to get too but the area is not to my liking. At least the hot sun did give me a chance for a nice picture of Port Bay.
Tamia has a wonderful blog ( see the link) about bicycle riding in really cold (below 50 degrees) weather. Check it out. My comment to her said if it is cold in Rockport I just wait a day and then ride in a tee shirt and shorts. It got up to 83 degrees F. at one point today. The A/C on the Truck was used because the humidity was also very high. High humidity can put a damper (pun intended) on trying to have tooooo much fun. TheOFM.
That water really does look rough. A good day to have toooo much fun inland, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with that previewed yak launch site? Looks like someone waded off and left a chair, so you know someone has been there before.
ReplyDeleteThe picture is from some private land next to the launch site. The launch site is soft mud and the parking is only a few inches above the normal tide. Six inches of higher than normal tide would leave you parked in a mud hole with a soft mud road out.
ReplyDeleteThe photo you now have as a header is great, but it makes me shiver.Put up another of the flowers or cactus.
