Saturday morning we took the Ferry to the Lighthouse Lakes for a day paddle.
|

|
|
Snacks are always an enjoyable part of our trips, but rarely are we joined by such a distinguished (or some may say disgusting) guest as the snake that slithered through the grass.
|
|
|
As we paddled into a strong south wind we passed a flock of Brown Pelicans.
|
|
|
|
We lunched on the beach with a flower looking on and Charlie checked out a beached Crab Trap.
|
|
In the afternoon we reached a lighthouse, which must be why this area is called Lighthouse Lakes Trail.
|
|
|
|
Sunday we paddled Corpus Christi Bay, behind Mustang State Park, where we spotted many marvelous waterfowl, such as the Stilted Sandpiper, Snowy Egret, Roseate Spoonbill and the Reddish Egret.

|
We took a short snack break and Mike tried out the tippy boat.
|
|
On the way back we met a fisherman eager to show off his catch.
|
|
|
|
A few brave souls in our group, left the protected waters of the bay and headed out into the Gulf to challenge themselves in the surf.
