ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Port of Houston Boat Tour
is Friday, March 5th.
The Tour Boat leaves promptly at 2:30 from its dock at gate 8 off of 7300 Clinton Drive. So, don’t be late! You will need about 30 minutes from UH
to get there and proceed through security.
You will need your driver’s license or a picture ID. Gather together at the dock
and do not bring large bags, large purses or backpacks. You will not be able to bring them on
board. We need to be together when we
check in at the dock. The
instructions from the Port Authority are as follows: “When your group arrives just make sure everyone is
together when you check in. All the names will be on a roster down at the
boat. Everyone needs to have their picture ID to board. One thing
that has changed is that now no backpacks or large bags are allowed
aboard.”
Classes will
be held on both Tuesday and Thursday of that week. I will cancel a class after Spring Break
to make up for the time you took to go on the tour. I will give directions to the Port
during Tuesday and Thursday classes.
I will also provide a map.
Additionally, you may view both by going to the Port’s Website http://www.portofhouston.com and

A shortened
version of directions are below:
Leave East
Loop 610 at Clinton
Drive (exit # 28). Proceed west (right) on Clinton, pass McCarty to
Gate 8. Enter Gate 8 and stay to the right. A security guard and signs will
direct you to the pavilion.
