Forwarded from another list. FYI, in case John hasn't posted to Paddlewise. It's sure to be warm by the end of April, so come on down to Texas if you've got a hankering for warm water and the company of boat-builders... San Luis Pass is between the westernmost (southernmost?) tip of Galveston Island and Follett's Island. The park is on the Follett's Island side. This puts you right next to the Christmas Bay paddle trail (see http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/fishboat/boat/paddlingtrails/coastal/christm as_bay/) You should contact the organizers directly.

Join us for a day of display, conversation and fun centered around home- built kayaks, canoes and other small boats. Bring and display your home-built boats, or simply come to view the crafts, learn and engage in conversation about boat building. The general public is invited. San Luis Pass County Park is between Galveston and Freeport, at the southwest end of the bridge to Galveston Island. The boat display will be bayside, where we can paddle boats and enjoy on-water demonstrations. Surf potential is a short paddle away. The event is free, but the park has an $5 per vehicle entrance fee. On Sunday, we'll tour the Galveston Ship Channel and Harbor by kayak. Camping and motel accommodations are plentiful within a short drive, but make reservations early. AGENDA Saturday April 28, 2007 * 10 am - 4 pm -- Kayak, Canoe and Small Boat Display.
