you know, I may or may not camp sunday night. I could keep you company if me and my friends decide to camp there. I mentioned it to them, we may do it.
I do live in west houston so it's ~1 hour drive to the dike. I know its nothing like your 4-5 hours, but hey, still something <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Just curious, how experienced are you in sailing?
I could take you and Kris around the bay, maybe we could do something fun like sail around to east beach and take a break there, and then come back... or sail to kemah or red fish island as a group.. we'll see. I *think* Kris has only been to the dike a few times, not sure though.
