Hi Zippy,
We live in League City, just South of
Houston near Galveston Bay. We sail 12 months a year here. The sailing is good, we generally have
wind all year with it being calmer in the summer. The
Marinas are relatively
cheap and very nice. Galveston Bay has several good overnight anchorage spots. On a two week trip you could go South along the coast as far as South Padre. If you are more ambitious it's only 5-6 days sail across the Gulf to Isla Mujeras,
Mexico. Or 7-8 days to
Key West.
On the down side the
water in Galveston bay is shallow and muddy, 10-11 ft. The shorelines are either muddy sand and shell or sharp
oyster shells.
Come on down, there's plenty of room,
Dave
