MTC1300 is on a distinguished road
Robert:
I might suggest that you consider bringing her to Corpus rather than Houston, I personally think it's much better. Reasonable berth prices. Easier to get in and out of. Galveston is Ok. You might want to consider sailing further than 20-30 miles out from Houston in the Gulf to make sure you miss those oil rigs which are not that high up in the waves, they can be pretty threatening. Your draft and some current charts through the Key's will be important because there just isn't any depth to speak of through there, coming from this side the gulf stream is not bad for you but coming back can be a nuisance. I wish you well keep in contact and if you get down to CC maybe we can meet and talk. I have been first mate and certified medical officer on a 32' and have enjoyed the gulf you will too. But Texas water's are much deeper than Florida. Might think about some current chart's in the Bermuda also.
