View from the condo at Port A

CondoPortASeems like only yesterday we were enjoying this panorama of the Gulf of Mexico from the condo at Port Aransas. It was, in fact, not quite a month ago. It was much more humid than usual for some reason, and Mr. B. got stung by a jellyfish, so he was less than enthused about the beach part of it. But, there’s always next year. So far. Still thinking of rare reader Snoopy’le, who is recovering from a heart attack. Wishing him well. And his wife and children, too.

PortA2With any luck, the beaches at Port A should be safe from the BP oil spill, unless there’s a big Gulf hurricane next month to drive it west to us.

Uh oh

Now that we’re getting ready to head for the beach on the middle Texas coast on Monday, the Seablogger is watching something brewing down around Hispaniola that could become a storm in the Gulf of Mexico before long. It certainly is time for some hurricanes, as we near their late August peak season. Just not around Port Aransas, please.
