PORT ARANSAS, Texas - Gulf Access Base has the 200 acre McDermott facility on the Corpus Christi Ship Channel under contract with plans to close on the property in December of this year.
“This facility is the only one of its kind on the western Gulf”, says Sam Canterbury, Partner in the project. “The facility is highly stabilized with 4,700’ of bulkhead with up to 46 ft of water including a 1,650’ X 500’ slip. We are located only 150 miles from AlaminosCanyon operations which will allow operators to cut transportation costs more than half in many cases.”
Plans for the facility include leasing dedicated secure parcels of 1 – 100 Acres as storage, staging, and base operations for deepwater operators in the western Gulf. Load in, load out, fuel, water, and provisions will be available. Port security and controlled parking will be provided. Space for suppliers and service providers is also planned.
“As the deep western gulf is developed by both old and new players, a support center of this type has become necessary” according to Canterbury. “We have the location, improved space, and water depth to meet the needs of the industry now and in the future.”

PORT ARANSAS, Texas - As previously posted, SandFest was a big success and crowds were estimated at 80,000 despite an incorrect gloomy weather forecast. Visitors from Austin, San Antonio and Houston missed the torrential rains that drenched those cities. If you missed the previous post with the SandFest video, you can find it here.
One secret that has been discovered in recent years is that Monday morning is a great time to see the sculptures without the crowds and parking issues. I spent about 30 minutes walking through the amazing sculptures this morning. Here are a few of my favorite photos.
The images below were taken this morning as well. Saturday night several area Fire Departments responded to a grass fire in the dunes. The blaze was allegedly started by a vehicle illegally four-wheeling in the dunes. The heat from the exhaust started the fire. Three to four acres were burned and as these photos show, the flames were close to quite a few beachfront homes. Fortunately, no homes were damaged.
