The new pier drew its first power today. The lights that light the walkway are all connected and working. The lights are on in the picture, but it's hard to tell. It does look nice at night. The fishing lights will be going up soon.
Nancy Jacobs had another open house this Sunday in 205. She said there will be an open house each Sunday. She said there are just too many second homes on the market in Rockport and the market is flooded. Justin and Rachel are gone for the week. They are in San Diego visiting his family. They plan to take in Disneyland too.
For a late summer week, there are very few guests here right now. I'm sure the weekend will be full.
Last Thursday, three of us went to Sailboat Pass and had no luck at all. Scott and I plan to try again tomorrow on the falling tide. Last week on the way in we came upon a boat that needed a tow. Just as we pulled alongside, a tow service showed up. They only wanted $200, but the boater said he would prefer that we tow him in. We were almost back to Conn Brown when a Coast Guard boat came roaring from behind with sirens and lights. They passed by us. When we got to the dock every emergencey responder in the county was at the dock. It was a traffic jamb in the water as well as on land at the ramps. The story I hear is that a boat collided with a barge. A man on the boat went overboard and the boaters went off and left him in the water. Another large boat came by and picked him and brought him in. He was transported to the emergency room, but I have not heard how he is doing.
