Thanks. I found one photo in that link of the lighthouse about a half mile from the ferry landing at Port Bolivar, but I didn’t see any shots of the North Jetty area.
Thanks for the snapshots. Our power was restored near Montgomery TX on Saturday evening. I listened to descriptions all week long of the devastation on Bolivar, but your images are the first I’ve actually seen. Damn shame, I used to fish that area often.
