Sargent Mitchell's Cut From The Air
This week we take to the air over Mitchell's Cut in Sargent. I have been working on my boat. So instead of writing about Sargent we got you up in the air for a birds eye view of Mitchell's Cut. This incredible footage is about 5 minutes long and really shows how wonderful Sargent is to be the gateway to the Gulf of Mexico and East Matagorda Bay. I have loaded two Air Tours and one labels the Sargent Beach locations so you can enjoy the Second even more. The second is the best Arial footage I have seen of Sargent.
