Rockport to Freeport February 9, 2011









We had a great sail from Rockport to Matagorda enjoying a sunny clear day with cool temperatures and breezy. The wind on the stern helped us make the trip in 11 hours. We saw lots of birds including 9 sets of whooping crane and my favorite, Ibis. We also saw our fare share of cattle grazing. We enjoyed the sail from Matagorda to Freeport. Extremely breezy up to Force 6 but clear sunny skies. We are docked at the city marina to wait out the cold front which arrived today. The picture shows the guillitone flood gate; it's an strange feeling to sail underneath it.
