We took two boat trips this year. The first to Brownsville, with all our Illinois friends. Jacki and Chico Garvis and Bob and I became friends the first year we came to Bentsen Grove. This year several of their friends came down to join them and we were outnumbered by the Illinois group. Also Millie and Larry Laux who had long been coming to Bentsen Grove, were from Illinois also. They let us pretend we were from Illinois. On a very cool morning to headed to Brownsville.
We of course had food with us.
We saw shrimp boats.
We saw lots of boats being tore up for their metal, but home land security wouldn't let us take pictures in Brownsville harbor. No, I'm not kidding. Afterwards, we went to Coconuts for lunch. The restaurant was open air and we just about froze to death, but shrimp was big and really good.
Our second trip was arranged by Kathy and David Whittier on a Pirates' Boat.
There were real pirates aboard. Here is one with Kathy our hostess.
Bob got in to the spirit of the trip with a mustache. I think he looks a little like Sherlock Holmes.
Jackie and Chico had mustaches too.
There were musicians.
Jackie even swept up doubloons.
A good time was had by all.
If I'm not mistaken there is a picture somewhere with you with a mustache
