Port O' Connor

Hooray! We left Mud Island near Rockport this morning, and are 50 miles north, at a lovely development called Sanctuary, "discovered" by our friends Sue and Al on Wind Dancer. Back in mid-November, we drove up here for their send-off dinner! It was SO cold, Daren and I decided to go south instead! So here we are, 4 months later, and it's very windy and supposed to get nasty tomorrow, but at least it's not too cold! We are glad to be tied up safe and sound.
After the last bit of bad weather cleared up, we left the old marina at Rockport on Sunday, March 11, and have been anchored at Mud Island for a whole week! Daren built a helmsman's seat for the cockpit so we don't have to stand up to steer! Friday night, Larry and Sue and good friends Frankie and Sherry and their cute grandson, Shawn (9) came over on Gypsy Wind II to spend the night. We had a great time and a wonderful shish-kabab dinner! They left yesterday about noon, and we decided to spend one more night to get an early start this morning.
We had a BIG surprise call from Candy this afternoon! She and Orville were in Port O'Connor and wanted to see us! I told them we were heading for Sanctuary, and when we arrived about 4 pm, they were there to catch our lines! It was such fun to see them again, and they're hoping to catch up to us in Galveston. It sounds like a nice place, and we would LOVE to travel with them again, so we'll see...
