"It's going to be windy... all night and most of tomorrow."
"Well, I guess I better toss a kayak in the water. I saw some dolphins when we were crossing the bridge - maybe they will have come up the waterway some?"
Joan gave me a hand getting the Hobie into the water, and I shoved off. Heading down our canal...
I pedaled to the east after our canal; into the "lake area." In the distance, you can see the highrises on South Padre Island...
Turning down another canal from the lake...
Under the low bridge...
A beautiful day - folks were out on their patios and decks; plenty of smiling and waving, and some questions about the kayak (How do you steer that thing?)...
This community used to be an Outdoor Resorts - an RV resort where you buy the lot. Over time, it has morphed into mostly small homes, Sea Cottages, park homes, and some RV lots...
I made my way into the ICW - no dolphins, but the pirate ship was pulling away from its temporary dock...
They must have a sunset cruise today; should be a perfect evening for it. Looking to the west, you see the end of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway...
That is the Port Isabel Turning Basin. What looks like a tower in the distance is a drilling ship that was docked there a year and a half ago, with the premise that it was going to undergo refitting. No sign of that.
There are a couple RV lots left that front the ICW...
Not much boat traffic in the ICW. I turned up another canal on our island - a couple pelicans sitting on top of a house there...
Someone is getting a new house built...
I passed under another bridge and slowed down as I passed our friends Mike and MJ's lot - they just got in yesterday. No sign of them outside, so I pedaled on. Down our canal and up to our dock...
Joan grabbed the bow line and gave me a hand pulling the kayak up on the dock. I hosed it off and joined Joan and Izzy up on the deck, watching the sun drop.
