5 Reasons To Fall In Love With Rockport, Texas In The Winter
Dec.29.2020
Snowbirds search for perfect winter weather. I found it in Rockport, Texas. About 3,000 to 5,000 Snowbirds come anytime after Thanksgiving and are gone by March before the Texas heat starts to build. During the winter, the combined population of nearly 15,000 people enjoys gentle gulf breezes and temperatures in the 60s and 70s for highs and 50s and 60s for lows. There can be a marine layer that blows in on some days and keeps things chilly, but you can expect mostly sunshine during your stay. Rockport has many sights and activities to enjoy while you experience a snow-free winter.
Their ship finally came in.
After years of political wrangling in Washington, Texas A&M University at Galveston on Monday received news it had long hoped for: Congress had approved funding to build a brand new training ship.
As part of the $1.4 trillion appropriation act and COVID-19 relief bill passed by Congress on Monday, the U.S. Maritime Administration received $390 million to fund the construction of a 525-foot ship called a National Security Multi-Mission Vessel.
Once built, the ship will be stationed at Texas A&M Universityâs Pelican Island campus and serve as the primary training vessel for the Texas Maritime Academy.
