Boca Chica Marina

We were lucky enough to get a slip in the marina which is usually full.  As the snowbirds migrate back to the north, the slips are becoming available for transients such as us.  The marina is on Boca Chica Naval Airstation.  It is a bit noisy but not intolerable.  One big plus of being back on a military base is the playing of the National Anthem every day.  Still get goosebumps when I hear it.  Some of the noise is the Blue Angels practicing for a show this weekend here at the base.  If weather keeps us from going out farther West, we'll get to see the show.

The channel from the ocean to the marina is long and narrow.  This was the view as we were
coming up the channel.

The marina is large and home to a mixed population of active duty folks and
retirees.  Some of the retirees live here full time, others just for the winter season.
We met some last night for the traditional sunset conch blowing at the end of our dock.

We're on the last dock from the marina office and facilities so I'm getting
my steps in for sure!

I love looking at names and graphics.  This was on a very large catamaran.

The view out my backdoor.  Not bad at all.
