After cruising from Seabrook, Tx 3 weeks ago, we have dodged 1 and half hurricanes. First was Hurricane Alex, that hit south of Brownsville and then what never became Bonnie. We were crossing Corpus Christi Bay, totally unaware that Bonnie was easing ashore. We had 4 and 5 foot seas along with 45 mph winds. We had to carry on because there is no parking lot to pull in when the weather turns bad. The harbormaster assigned us slip G5. The wind blew "Lindsey" into G7. We called the harbormaster and she said that since the weather was so bad, G7 was fine. The Corpus Municipal Marina is at the heart of downtown. Notice the 50 story building off the port side of "Lindsey".
There are trolleys that go right by the marina and for 75 cents, you can travel the city. The Texas State Aquarium and the USS Lexington are a short ride away. The marina charges 90 cent per foot. If you stay a week the price drops to, in our case, about $20.00 per night. The showers and laundry are new and nice but a short walk away.
There are three restaurants right at the marina. There is a Laundrys Seafood, Joe's Crab Shack and Harrison's Landing. We favor Harrison for their egg sandwiches.
