Getting back on the horse

Mr. B. has finally been convinced, on the last day of our annual Port A trip, that he needs to try and “get back on the horse” instead of letting his Tuesday bout with the Sea Nettles keep him out of the Gulf. He and Mrs. Charm and grandma from Fort Worth are just setting out. Updates on this important news item on the hour.

UPDATE:  He did it! Said he didn’t see (or feel) any this time. But the higher than usual heat and humidity (heat index of 105 F) finally drove him back inside.

Sea Nettles at Port A

Looks like it’s going to be a rainy day on the beach at Port A. Webcams on the Net sure are fun. You have to refresh this one periodically. The Panama Canal one below refreshes itself.
