Anybody ever been to Tampico, Mexico? I'm looking for information to help plan a sailing trip from Galveston to Tampico for the end of the year.
Information needed:
- place to dock...either marina or hotel with dock on the river? Or...a place to anchor and then where to tie up the dinhgy?
- immigration station?
- Fuel docks?
- I know this is a stretch, but anybody sailed there from Galveston on this board? I would like to know how the Rhumb line is; cluttered with rigs? I know we have tons of rigs along the continental shelf and that 90% of this trip is inside the shelf, but some areas are clearer then others (Believe it or not, I made it to Veracruz only seeing about 3 rigs the whole way). If I have to worry about rigs every 4-8 miles, it could make the 450 miles a pain as a single handler.
I asked our local GBCA board but no responses so far. If none here, I'll head over to the 7 seas or something like that (haven't been on that board in years).
