Bar-B-Q Cruise March 22, 2006

Joe and Millie organized a Bar-B-Q  cruise attended by 49 people from FunNSun.  We took a boat ride on the Getaway to the mouth of the Brownsville ship canal and then went up the canal watching the dolphins.  Glen gave us a lesson in dolphin calling (barking and clapping, he is really good at it) and I was able to get a great picture of one leaping from the water (1 out of 167 shots)!  We landed at a cattle ranch and had to wait for the crew to emplace a floating pier that had been moved by the wake of a large ocean going ship from Hong Kong that passed us on it's way up the canal.  We went ashore and had a hay ride (less hay) to a clearing were tables and a chow line were set up.  During lunch we were serenaded by some typical hombres.  On the way back a few cars were diverted into the DQ to top off a delightful day.
