You might want to launch out on Padre Island
National Seashore. You turn right at the Bird Island Basin sign just after
entering the National Seashore where you pay your entry fees. I've sailed there
and the good wind with smooth water is a blast. You will find a large
number of windsurfers there as well. I'm between sail boats right now or I'd try
and meet you down there. You have 100+ miles of fairly protected water to the
south. You do need a chart if you venture out of the Intracoastal Waterway as it
can be quite shallow.

trip
It's only 10 days until the start of the 'round the US
trailer sailing trip. I am taking my lap top and will be able to access the
internet, and this site while on the road.
Some people have provided
great information about Pensacola Bay/Perdido Bay, and it looks like I'll get
to the area on late Wednesday May 14 and sail there - and Perdido Bay - for a
week or ten days.
The next stop will be in Corpus Christi, Texas. Does
anyone have information on where to launch, where to leave the truck/trailer,
where to go, what to see? I want to sail a bit along North Padre Island, but
have time to sail a fair amount in the area.
As always, anyone who
wants to sail along at any of the stops is very welcome to do so.
