And from further around on the side.... The palm trees are going to grow to 80'. At the base, you can see some of the nautical artifacts collected from our last trip to Port Aransas. The aqua colored rope around the sand flower bed was a major coup! I'm sure those who witnessed our recovery of this item will be telling folks about the idiot tourists for years to come. What you can't appreciate from this picture is that the rope is 20' long and about 4" in diameter. Wet, it weighed more than I care to think about. We transported this from St. Jo's island to our truck via the jet ski.
