We've been having a blast on our vacation with Jim and Nancy. We stayed in Port Aransas through Tuesday and explored the town. One of the interesting and historical places there is the Tarpon Inn. When an angler catches a large Tarpon they put the information on one of the scales and it gets nailed to the wall. The inn has been there for 133 years (if I have my facts right, and that is not always the case). And had some famous anglers over the years.

We saw many dolphins swimming in the marina and one of the other really cool things we saw at the City Marina in Port A were some Sea Turtles. We were so excited to see them right there swimming around the boats.
We left Port Aranas on Tuesday and had a quick motor over to spend the day in Rockport

Port A is one of my favorite Texas ports of call. I forgot about the sea turtles in the marina until I saw your pictures!
