Christmas Bay Texas
I have a sail
boat
. Draws 1.5 feet center board up.
I want to traverse
Christmas
bay West to east on my way to Offats Bayou from Free port.
The chart shows less than a fathom near the old
ICW
, no depths with in it, I suppose its not dredged.
Is it possible to traverse with out going aground too often or too hard?
Thanks

Re: Christmas Bay Texas
No saying it’s not possible but no.
I
fish
out there and get stuck with a shallow sport
fishing
boat
sometimes, that draws 8”
Just stay in the Intracoastal and you will be fine.

Re: Christmas Bay Texas
Hell, I have run aground in a
kayak
in
Christmas
Bay. No way you can make it across there.
As said,
ICW
is fine.
But if you do decide to try then post pics.
