We keep our Catalina 27 in Yacht Harbor--its five minutes from our house. I'm jealous. Remember that Lake Travis is 62 miles long from dam to dam and more than 100 feet deep in the main channel. That is a pretty long daysail ;-) We've lived on Lake Travis since 1991, so we know pretty well what we're in for. Beautiful lake. I sailed it in two smaller boats for years. We've moved it to Port Aransas, Palacios, and it's been in Kehma for 2 1/2 years. Having said that, the drive to the coast is getting old. Our new boat is currently in Palacios, and we can keep it there as long as we want. I've done the roundtrip twice in the last three days, and it is a solid four hours from our house (ugh!) At least when you get there you have a place to stay ![]() Palacios is only three hours from my house. Closest gulf access to Austin. We were at Serendipity Marina and RV resort. Not much in Palacios except for the Outrigger cafe. Friendly people though. Docking in Portofino just across from the Kemah boardwalk is like the anti-Palacios. http://wwwext.arlut.utexas.edu/omg/weather.html Good site.
