I went out in my son's Hunter 25 on Saturday.
We sailed down the Intra-coastal from Padre Island.

from the channel day marks which are *cans & nuns.

He wasn't kidding: at one point I saw a pelican
standing on the water (as it seemed)
His feet were hardly submerged and he was standing
about 5 yards outside the channel!

Corpus is a great sailing area for kite surfers and wind surfers.
The Pelican was standing on prime Redfish and speckled trout fishing
grounds BTW.

If you want to sail Corpus you need a fast planing board boat like a
LaBrisa.

or a Flying Scott ect and learn where the good oyster reefs are.
Great strong and steady winds. If you have a deep draft boat head
offshore, nice clear water around 10 miles out, and it gets deep fast
to the SW. Head to S. Padre island and do some beach coming. No auto
access!
