| Boat Camping in style, generator for TV and coffee pot |
Heading out late Saturday morning, we sailed along with a fellow sailor across Galveston Bay to Double Bayou for Halloween party in a pasture. The day was beautiful, and winds were very cool (so we bundled up). The ship channel was incredibly heavy, and had to move fast to get across to the Trinity Bay side. We had heard on the radio of a collision in the Houston Ship Channel, which may have caused some of the backup. Collision in Houston Ship Channel.
Download the latest Quickie Guide for Texas kindle version to get the local knowledge in Galveston Bay of getting to Double Bayou without running aground. Avoid low tide.
We raised the head sail with the motor. Our boat can not sail close haul so we reeled in the head sail. With the tide dropping, we hugged the reds going down the Double Bayou Channel (depths ranged 5-7 feet, marker 8-12 removed). Stopped by the Hurricane fuel dock to top off for the generator, got a few more provisions for camping out, and headed up the East Fork to the pasture where rums shots were passed out to relieve the mosquito bites.
In 2011 we partied into the night in our homemade Popeye, Olive Oyl, Swee'pea, and can of spinach costumes. The crowds disappeared early so we kept the over 2100 club going on our boat plus an extra golden retriever (scene in the video). Tequilas shots and margaritas were enjoyed through the evening. Everyone heads to their respected v-berths just as the generator runs out of gas. Hope that more join the over 2100 (after 9 pm) club.
