trip to Brownsville -Day 3

In spite of predictions of a 40% chances of rain for the entire day, we had a delightful, dry trip from Port O'Connor to Rockport. It is "only" 45 nm so we were docked at the Rockport Yacht Club by 2:00 pm.  Our route went along the Aransas National Wildlife Refure where the whooping cranes winter, but unfortunately they had already headed North. We have passed through here in the winter, and the "Whoopers" are a truly magnificent sight!

Rather sadly we will lose our able crew member Jim Gould (Terry's Dad) as Rockport is home. Tomorrow will be a day of rest and relaxation before we continue on to Brownsville.
