Fishing Boats and a Drilling Platform


On a motorcycle trip with Joe and Barb we decided we should stop for a snack. There's a lot of restaurants on the water in the Strand District of old Galveston and parking is at a premium. We ended up at a Joe's Crab Shack and yes I know we could have gone to a local joint but this Joe's really is on the water. I can highly recommend the crab dip nachos. I would happily recommend the drinks Barb and I had but I can't seem to remember what they were. There was a two drink per person maximum, and it we are not the kind of women to step back from a challenge.





A whole string of fishing boats. One pulled in while we were there and the birds stormed the boat.
The fishermen culled through their catch and tossed the unwanted fish over board where the pelicans and cranes cleaned up.


Love the 'do!





Waiting for the buffet line to open!


The Ocean Star Offshore Drilling Rig Museum
I'd wanted to visit and here we were so........
This was once used in the gulf.


There are three levels on the rig with exhibits.
There were several models of different types of drilling platforms.

There's also
