Rockport Harbor
“Some people look for a beautiful place, others make a place beautiful.” - Hazrat Inayat Khan
Another day cruising on Aransas Bay...we could get used to this! We both miss being on the water. I know what you're thinking, we're on the water every day, but living on the boat in the marina is different from actual cruising. Both are great...but we enjoy MOVING on the water.
The main reason for today's cruise was to buy fuel. Stan's been asking the shrimpers in our harbor where they buy diesel and they all told him the best place was in Aransas Pass at Conn Brown Fuel Dock. So that was our first stop. We took on 200 gallons...the price was $1.90 a gallon. That is the lowest price we've paid since we started cruising...wish we could take some back to The Pearl.
Our next stop was at Redfish Willie's for lunch. They're located at the end of Conn Brown Harbor and have wonderful floating docks. It's been a long time since we've pulled up on our boat and had lunch. We enjoyed visiting with other cruisers while we enjoyed the view. I'm sure we'll make this cruise again.
It's very flat along the Texas ICW
House of Boats where we had The Pearl delivered back in 2010. It looks like Texas to me...
but the ICW here is beginning to look a lot like Florida with all these nice homes.
Not all the boats we saw today were large!

Leaving the harbor. That bridge leads out to the ferries that take you to Port Aransas.
