THRILLER BOAT RIDE IS FANTASTIC (ESPECIALLY DURING SPRING BREAK)

The Thriller boat ready for action!!!!

 Ready for boarding from Pier 19. It went out from

Pier 19 this week due to being "Spring Break" week.

 Off we go!!!! What a ride!!!!!! Check out that "Rooster Tail"

 The Rooster Tail.

 Yours truly and Donna enjoying the ride. What a great

afternoon!!!! Someone behind me had to get in the act as well. LOL

 We had a fantastic crew in Capt. Paul and Darren.

 We rode all along the Bridge waving at all those people

stuck in the Spring Break bridge traffic. Can you

believe it took 4 hours to drive across!!!!!

 Once we had harrassed the bridge traffic we were on

our way again!!

 We the rode down past Louis Backyard and the buildings there.

 Then it was off like a torpedo again.

 More along the shore.

 

Onward we go. 

 The crew of Paul, Darren and Adam.

 After waving to people on shore we were off again.

 Headed back to the dock. Capt. Paul and Dan.

THANK YOU FOR A GREAT RIDE!!!!

 Lastly, that evening  we were treated to one of the most incredible

sunsets we had ever seen from the dock at Pier 19.

It just doesn't get any better than that!!!!!!!!

NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE THE BEAUTY!!!

This remains one of the best activities around the island.

It offers the whole package of speed, scenery, dolphin watch,

and a thrill a minute with a great crew to keep you entertained

including lively music. Can truly be enjoyed by young and old alike.

A real Winter Texan and Spring Break "must do".
