Mardi Gras - Galveston Texas Trip down and Harbor House Pier 21 |
|
 |
 |
| Very heavy traffic on the way down. Dozens of ships and tows. | We backed in to slip 105. That's us, 2nd from left. |
 |
 |
Kem gets Spirit Dancer in the "spirit" of the event. |
Bead Throwers on the move. |
 |
 |
The folks in the boat next door on their way to throw beads. |
This is the boat to the left of us above. 15 foot beam in a 12 foot wide slip. Space was tight at Pier 21. |
 |
 |
| Past LYC Commodore and club historian Jack Thomas and his wife Alice join us on the back porch for a fun visit. | Brandon, Kathy, Sara, Mike and Ron Pederson. Off to throw beads from a balcony. |
 |
 |
| Second boat to left (backed in) is Island Spirit, a 1971 Grand Banks Grand Alaskan pilot house woody. | Cutter on bow, but wait, there's more... |
 |
 |
| That's Robert on the phone, Jeremy (arms folded) and David (hook 'em horns) on the right. Yes, that's Cutter on the far, far left. | The checkered platform supports a gold pole. Yes, the music was still at full volume at 4 AM. An awesome stereo and incredible speaker system was enjoyed by all. |
| And, Dorothy and Ed Herndon along with Don and Ann Thompson met us at the dock and were our first guests aboard before we shut down the engines. That was a great welcome. | |
