The weekend of May 18-20, 2001
CFAN's Mfg Manager, Troy Swift, took us
(Mel, Danny, Doug and I) to his beach house.
It's located on Matagorda Island along the
Gulf of Mexico between Corpus Christi and Houston.
 

Take a look at some photos:

We drove to Port O'Conner, pulled Troy's boat out of storage,
and motored over to the island.  What a salty ride.

This isn't Troy's boat,
just an oil rig crew boat passing through the jetty
back to port for another load:

Saturday morning we dropped a couple of lines:

Nice catch, Mel:

What a great weekend to be on the water:
