This is a Level 2 paddle. Please have the following:  One good headlamp, one rear-facing LED area light on your back or rear deck (Not too bright).  One back up flashlight in a dry-bag or on deck, 3-4 glow sticks (or equivalent). VHF Marine Radio is helpful, hopefully we will have at least five radios in the group. We plan to paddle about 6 statute miles with one or two stops to stretch our legs.  

Meet at 4:30 pm at 242 Schooner Drive Freeport 77541 in the Treasure Island neighborhood on the bay side just off the Blue Water Highway just before crossing the bridge from Freeport to Galveston.  (Note - $2 cash toll to cross bridge from Galveston.)

Water temperature reaches averages in the low 70 degree F but wind and water can vary. Food and hydration are strongly encouraged since we will be out several hours.  

To respect our neighbors, please unload quietly and park about a block away at the Treasure Island Municipal Building.  (No parking on street or grass, please.)  Both outdoor shower and boat wash hose are available for use.  We can use the sub-division boat ramp if folks prefer.


Route Plan

If you don't want to drive home, some folks will be camping on the beach.  Rental houses are available from VRBO or 979VacationRentals.  Brazoria County Parks has RV spots next door (by foot or water) with some cabin rentals. 

Lynne and Paula plan to be at a nearby house all week.  Prior to this Full Moon Paddle, contact Lynne if you would like to join the scouting mission (or play in the waves (Level 3 daylight hours) at San Luis Pass).
