This was a really busy rally for Elaine and I so we didn't get to do anything we usually like to do while we are in this area. We were leaving on Wednesday so Tuesday we decided to head over to Port Aransas via the ferry. We asked Jo if she wanted to tag along since she had never been there. We lucked out and had a very short wait to get on the ferry over.
Taken from the ferry boat pier.
One of the smaller ferries. They have quite a few ferries and put them in use depending on the traffic at the time. The ferry is actually part of the highway system between Aransas Pass and Port Aransas out on the island.
The dolphins like to swim in the bow wave of the big boats.
I had to use the full telescopic range on my phone camera to bring this structure up close enough so that we could tell what it was. From a distance you couldn't tell if it was on land or water or what it was.
There is a really nice park right near the ferry landing on the island.
The dolphins were putting on a show for their audience.
This was the best shot. A mama with her baby in a synchronized swim. Another dophin showed up who was probably the male but I didn't get a good shot of him.
We wanted to have lunch on the island and Elaine loves her seafood. The first place we tried was extremely expensive even at lunch so we beat a hasty retreat. Our second choice which turned out to be great was FINS Grill and Icehouse. We had a nice window view where we could see the pirate ship next door and the food was good. They even had a seafood lunch special that Elaine and Jo wanted.
We will be headed out tomorrow but not early since we can't check in to our next stop before 2.
