Kayaking in Corpus Christi Bay

As usual, we have our kayaks with us. One day while still on Mustang Island we took the kayaks over to Wilson’s Pass on the bay side of the Island.  The route we selected seemed typical for us. We saw some wildlife and had lunch on a small island.  But on the way back the wind picked up and for the first time ever I was not sure I could paddle back to our starting point against the wind. We noticed a dirt road by the edge of the water that we thought would lead back to the place where we parked the jeep. So I pulled my kayak out onto the shore while Bill paddled the last mile or so by himself so he could drive the jeep out to where I was waiting. Turns out that some of the “road” was nearly under water and very mucky. Luckily we have a 4-wheel drive and an excellent driver, otherwise: who knows!!! He did make it out to me with a very muddy jeep and we found another way back to the main road.
