Padre Island Cruise

4th Stop - Port Mansfield - May 29
Corpus Bridge
Blue Dolphin
We thread the needle entering the GIWW from the Corpus Ship Channel and head for the high bridge
Definite change in water color
Sandy Island
Squall Aft
Scenery changes as well - many more sandy islands
We leave another squall well behind us
PeopleStanding Fishing
Sunken Shirmpboat
Those are people standing (boat in middle). Water is very shallow outside the GIWW
A few feet either way and this sunken shrimp boat would be high and dry
PM Condos North Side
El Jefes
Condos on the North side of the channel going into Port Mansfield - Population 350
We stayed the night at El Jefe's. Short finger piers, great people. Channel in is being dredged. By keeping the range markers lined up, we had plenty of water until we got to the mouth of the harbor (6.5 feet deep).
