It's that time of the year again where I begin to look for someone to sail with on the Texas 200 and enjoy the adventure. The crew I had last year are preparing their own boat for this year's sail and most sailors near me that are interested are sailing their own boats as well.
The 2015 event will be sailing from Port Isabel, Texas to Magnolia Beach, Texas on Matagorda Bay, a distance of about 220 miles. We sailed this length in 2013 in 5 days sailing (4 nights camping) with 3 days over 50 miles each. This year we will be taking 6 days sailing (5 nights camping) to prevent those 50 mile plus days. There will be some different camp sites than 2013 which have not been determined yet.
The dates for the event are from Monday June 8th to Saturday the 13th (sailing days). I will be headed down to Port Isabel (from Dripping Springs, Tx; near Austin) on Friday June 5th (White Sands Motel & Marina is the start point, reservation already made). Return to the Austin area will be on Sunday the 14th.
If anyone is interested, please let me know.
John
