If I’m going to be judged by this blog then I have no choice but to admit the following; I’m a lousy blogger.
What I’m going to tell you next isn’t an attempt to brag or make anyone question their own actions. One of the things that kept me away from my computer for at least part of the summer is the very thing this blog is about, King Harbor. So I guess I’m saying I have an excuse, at least since June.
Here’s a list of some of the things I’ve done in KH this summer; drinks at Old Tony’s, dinner at Samba, lunch at Joe’s Crab Shack (I’ve got an 8 year old son), sailed big boats, sailed a Sabot with my son from the yacht club, swam in the Seaside Lagoon three times, spent July 4th at the Lagoon, hiked more than half way out the breakwater, hiked to the end of the jetty behind the little pier multiple times, played football at Moonstone Park, discovered the location of Turtle Park, hiked the outside of the Galveston wall on Yacht Club Way, rode bikes all around the marina, attended 3 concerts on the pier. There’s more but rather than risking anyone saying I’m bragging, I’ll leave it at that.
King Harbor’s the place I go lots of times when I don’t really have anyplace to go. I might end up on a boat, in a park or in a restaurant. Sometimes I have a plan. Sometimes I don’t. Lots of times I just go down there and figure it out when I get there. Maybe I’m weird, but I never get tired of it.
Chances are you haven’t spent as much time in the harbor as I have this summer, but there’s still time to swim in the lagoon, rent a paddle boat, go out on a fishing boat and any number of other activities.
Please post a reply and tell me what you have done, what you wish you had done and what you’d like to do in the future. There really is a lot crammed into that little space. I’d like to hear from everyone who uses it, even if you don’t use it as much as me.
