Gulf of Margaritaville, TX

Great BW spot on the San Bernard River

SpaceX was planning Launch number 8 of their prototype Starship from Boca Chica, TX sometime over the next few weeks so Kelly VI and I wended our way slowly south along the Gulf coast.

We stayed at Boondocker Welcome sites, truck stops and Walmart parking lots, so every night was free, except one when I decided to use the paid overnight to dump and fill my tanks.

Sunset as the fog moves in.

Fog was THICK!






On the beach enroute to Corpus Christi.
Free camping on the beach here at Mustang Island,
yet the sand is very fine and Kelly VI, my RV, almost got stuck.

Bill Taylor flew in from DFW to enjoy a few days
together on the beach.
Sunset in Brownsville, TX 






Storms rolled through Brownsville and 
South Padre Island for a couple days.

I believe this little octopus was dead.
