Hi Dave,

A good place to post this would be on the GASP list.  Quite a few
subscribers some of whom might even invite your friends to come along
for a paddle.  Some of them are subscribed to PaddleWise.  Gasp is not
a busy list but has quite a few subscribers (nothing like PaddleWise,
though).  (see http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/ )

It would be helpful to know when they are going to be in the area, how
long, are they wanting to camp out?  Primitive camping?  What type of
gear will they be bringing?  Are they willing to travel a little ways
up the coast to Aransas National Wildlife Refuge?

Also, check out Ken Johnson's post about paddling the Corpus Christi
area.  He has provided some very good information for put-ins and 
take-outs to some great places to paddle in the area.
