The Blue Herron

🌴 You know you live on Galveston Island when a little disturbance in the Gulf suddenly becomes part of your Tuesday plans. 😂🌧️

This thing really did pop up out of the blue!

Rain bands began making their way across the island yesterday, and we're settling in for a wet day as the system moves our way.

So what are Galvestonians doing?

✔️ Watching the radar
✔️ Checking the weather app approximately 47 times
✔️ And, of course, checking in with Hurricane Hal for the real deal—the no-hype, tell-us-what-we-actually-need-to-know version. 😂

Because when you live on an island, you learn pretty quickly that there’s a difference between:

"WE'RE ALL DOOMED!”🌪️😱

and

“Yep. Looks like we're going to get some rain.” 🌧️🤣

We'll take the latter, thank you very much!

Stay safe out there, Galveston! And maybe keep that umbrella handy. 🌴🌧️

🚢 If you’re sailing out of Galveston, you may only need ONE night on the island before boarding your ship.

And we completely understand!

While many Galveston vacation rentals require a 2-night minimum, The Blue Herron is happy to accommodate guests who only need one night. 🙌

Arrive a day early. Explore a little of Galveston. Enjoy dinner. Get a good night's sleep. Then wake up refreshed and ready to set sail. 🌴🚢
