Default Moving the boat...

I found an apartment complex there that has their own docks.
I think it was Harbor Pointe on NASA 1
Now that would be sweet having the boat right at the front door.


Might give then a call tomorrow.


To shallow and the docks to small for anything over 30ft IMO.


Sorry, I was thinking about a place to dock the 18.
That woulf be a great knock about on Clear Lake.

It can be docked on the trailer, but that makes sailing it more
hassle than it's worth.

But I'd hate to part with her.



BTW, I meant to ask about something I thought I read about your
experience with USCG.


I thought I read that they wouldn't take just the injured crew member,
and isnsited on taking everybody off.


Did I misread that?

No you did not miss read that. "All or None".


That seems a little high handed.

"We'll rescue the injured person - but it will cost you the boat"?
Is that normal


I guess. We tried 3 commerical tow companies then requested a tow
from Houston after we lost steering, none would come and provide a
tow. I was told the the USCG Heron was dispached then turned around in
favor of a Helo. I guess I could get an offical report from the USCG
to try to figure offical policy on tows if one exists. But way second
guess anything? Learn and move on.
