It rained most of the way to Corpus Christi. The wind blew as well. We kept our speed down due to conditions.
We refueled and bought groceries in Corpus Christi.
Our campground is north of Corpus Christi, on Mustang Island. We took the long bridge across Corpus Christi bay, and then took the ferry to Mustang Island. As we were getting on the ferry, the attendants directed me to take up both lanes, and park in the middle. I asked them about it, and they gave two reasons. First, by having fewer cars on the side that the RV was on, it tended to balance out the weight better on the ferry. Second, by parking the RV in the middle of two lanes, no one would be tempted to try to pull up next to us, when there really isn't space to park a car next to a rig that is 8 feet wide. They hate to do the paperwork for accidents. ;-)
Our campground/resort is nice, but the weather was so cold and windy that we did not leave the camper once it was set up. Maybe we can walk to the beach Sunday afternoon, after it stops raining. The weather is forecast to gradually improve. The weatherman says that it is almost 30 degrees cooler than normal for this time of year. Our outdoor thermometer is reading in the low 40s. The weather was so bad that I took no pictures on the drive down to Corpus Christi.
Richard's sister Diane drove over to see us, and brought a flower and some shrimp. Richard and Diane made short work of the shrimp, which became the appetizer for the spaghetti dinner that Marianne cooked. I don't see my sister very often, just every few years. Marianne commented how good she looked.
Diane will come back on Sunday, as will her son Patrick. We plan to go to an Easter evening mass at her church, where she sings in the choir.
