Re: [Paddlewise] Trip Report: Paddling the San Antonio River at Goliad

Nice river paddle, Natalie.  So peaceful.  Here are the pics of Corpus 
Christi Paddlefest Nov 6-8, 2009.  We had a good turnout and weather was 
great for 2 of 3 days...although beach was swallowed up by very unusual high 
tides.  Everyone really had a good time:
