I'd be interested in getting together one weekend for a rendezvous.
It sounds like fun.

Paul,

Sounds like a lot of fun. Reading about the NW rendezvous made me a
little jealous. I'll be there if at all possible, so count me in for
the Galveston get-together.

I guess since it was my idea I can't really turn it
down! LOL I know of a few more Vegas in the area but
I don't think they are members here! Maybe we should
go on a recruiting campaign in SE Texas!

Hi Paul,

I think Emile and his wife are still here in Galveston too. May have to go over to
invite them. Also, one small correction on my boat number, its 2491 not 2991.

Paul,

What about May 22-23? The following weekend is a long one and it
might work also, but I will be moving Moondance to Aransas that
weekend so I would only be available for that Friday/Saturday, then
I'll have to cut out for Aransas. As to where; maybe Offits Bayou
(liberty in Galveston anyone?)or maybe Double Bayou on the east side
of the bay.

Paul,

I believe Lori is from galveston and would probably know where best
to tie up or drop a hook and the best way to get in. Addition info
might be had from BARR. Their web site is
http://users2.ev1.net/~barr/local.htm Use exact full address to get
in.
I'll be leaving from Clear Lake, so maybe we can all cruise down as a
fleet if the others are interested.

I am very familiar with Offits Bayou, we can drop a hook
there very easily. The Landings Marina is over there also.
I'm not sure if they have any guest slips. What would everyone prefer,
staying in a marina or just dropping the anchor in the middle of the bayou?

Hi gang!
We've been from Clear Lake to Galveston a few times.
It's a nice days ride going out to the ship channel
and dodging the freighters on the way down to the
island. LOL We're good for dropping anchor in some
remote spot but we'll go along with whatever creature
comforts the group agrees to. A fleet sail from Clear
Lake would also be a good idea. Any weekend except
Memorial Day weekend would be good for us.
If Lori would like to make more of a trip for
herself we could also meet at Red Fish Island now that
it's above water again.
Maybe the Clear Lake 'group' could do a spring shake
down cruise soon. We wanted to go out this weekend but
it won't happen unless we get another foot of water in
the lake by Saturday.

Helpful hint of the day!!!!
I know it's already spring BUT, when you're
preparing for the winter season remember to put some
light grease inside the shift extension arm (that
connects to the combi lever). If left in the
feathered position and not lubricated it could tend to
seize up over the winter.
Good sailing to all!

Ours is Aquila, hull#176. We live in Dallas but would like to know
where the other vega's are. Perhaps we could even swop gear?
Our email address is: dutoit@...

Hi Lori and all,
Our vega is berthed in the Landings Marina, just next to Moody
Gardens, thru the channel past the Colonel Paddlewheel Steamer. It
is really a great marina, and yes they have quest slips available.
They have new management also, showers, pool and tennis and are very
friendly.
Their phone number is: 409-744-3625
We are currently in Dallas, but would like to meet all of you.
Usually memorial day is very busy on Offatts Bayou, but yes it is a
great place to anchor out. In S SE wind the side near Moody Gardens
is probably calmest, but watch out for the oyster bank...
Where do you guys go for short trips?
We are planning one to Lake Arthur, but right now getting away from
work is not easy.

Regards
Emile & Isabelle

Hi all!
That weekend would work for us too but any weekend
that will get the most people there IS the best one so
we'd like to hear from all those long distanse folks
first. Hey Emile & Isabelle think you could make it
down here anytime soon??
Paul, which number do you need? (Doc #583682) That
look right?
