BobBski 2017..

Always a nice breeze on the waterfront so don't notice the humidity. Now if I go into town it's another story.

 

[BobBski]

Instead of attaching an awning I use a Sportsbrella XL, it's 60" wide and great protection from wind, rain and sun.  I've used it for several years while fishing and it transports nicely in the fishing rod closet.

Port Aransas Tx, it doesn't get much better

 

[BobBski]

No, that's not the sun, it's the moon right at sunset.

sweet moonrise
We could really use a natural predator for fire ants here

 

[LMTLMT]

so that's what Port Aransas looks like, awesome!! I've to see it for myself one of these days.

 

[BobBski]

ArtW...I just hope I never trip and do a face plant in a hill lol

LMTLMT...definitely an enjoyable place

There are big wave warning signs all along the sea wall at Port Aransas.  These waves are caused by the big ships passing by.  Short 0:44 second video

Does that Sportsbrella hold up to high wind gusts, in other words are the struts fiberglass that flex or metal that bends.

The closest Walmart from our camp is 10 miles away in Aransas Pass.  Getting there involved taking the girls on their first ferry ride.  Ferry runs 24/7 and is free, they run anywhere up to 6 ferries at a time depending on traffic.  From my time of arrival to the ferry departing was less than 15 minutes.  Life is good.

I've had mine for 6 years in some pretty nasty weather without issue.  Not sure of strut material.  Wind gets too high I just reposition van or umbrella to keep it out of direct force.  I've been next to RV's who made the mistake of keeping their awnings out in high winds that got trashed and the umbrella survived do to repositioning.  All shelters be it awnings, tarps, tents, umbrellas have limitation but, savvy owners can get the most out of them.

Bullfrog... it does flex and give with the wind, haven't had the struts bend. One of the best $60 purchases I've ever made. It has been used extensively.

 

[BobBski]

Tonight there was a lunar eclipse, snow moon I guess they call it.  I took video clips at various times throughout the timeframe they said it would be.  I didn't notice any eclipse but sure got some nice video, 58 seconds worth.  Y'all have a great weekend.

Bob, the video wouldn't play for me. Maybe the problem is on my end. Have a real slow connection tonight.

 

[BobBski]

Don't know what it could be Sunny. Link works fine for me and shows others have viewed.

The girls always keep my seat warm when I leave the vehicle

 

[BobBski]

Port Aransas Tx has some great beaches too.

One of my dogs, a 60 pound shepherd mix, has a bad habit of jumping into the driver's seat and honking the horn with his butt when he turns around. I have to put my poo bucket on the seat now.

 

[BobBski]

Thanks for the smile, hahaha

Good Night All
