Return trip from Port Isabel -Day 6

We are ever so slowly getting closer to home.  Today was another intentionally short day as we travelled from Freeport to HarborWalk Marina and Yacht Club. HarborWalk is on the mainland about 5 miles West of the I-45 causeway bridge into Galveston. The trip from Freeport only took about 3 1/2 hours so we arrived for a late lunch aboard Lucky Us.  The transient slips are along the pool complex between the yacht club and the marina store/fuel dock.
The picture on the left (above) shows Lucky Us docked stern first with the pool complex just behind.  The picture on the right (above) shows part of one of the two pools with Lucky Us barely visible to the upper left of the low, scrub palm tree. We spent 3+ hours enjoying the sun, warm water and even the whirlpool.  The last picture is of the Admiral and says it all - this retired life is pretty good!
Sadly our plan is to depart for home in the late morning after logging some pool time. There are some thunderstorms predicted for the Houston area for late tomorrow afternoon and evening so the option of staying here an additional day is probably not there...
