MUSTANG ISLAND











I am spending a few days at Mustang Island state park. This is a beautiful spot on the gulf of Mexico, outside Corpus Christi . To get here, the Starship came across the Aransas pass on a ferry. We were rewarded to have two dolphins playing in the water and guiding the ferry across.

There is good fishing here, large jetty's have been constructed of lots of huge granite slabs placed out into the water. A wide variety of salt water fish can be caught here, today my catch was a mess of whiting which made an excellent meal on the grill.

If you look closely at the 3rd picture, you will see some small dots at the horizon. These dots unfortunately zoom up to picture 4. I can count 25 of these off shore rigs from where I am standing, which i just think is too bad! I didn't see these my last trip through here and i wasn't paying $2 a gallon either. I know it is only a matter a time till a broken pipe, accident, or hurricane causes a major disaster to this natural area.
