re: I’m planning on Kayaking the entire Texas coast - Update 2.0 bot. Pg. 6 - Hoist the sail!

I’ll do that

eta - wind died and I couldn’t test the sail out. Tomorrow’s forecast looks better

Mexicans and meth heads.

First off, I think your trip sounds awesome and in no way would I try to discourage. Second, this happened many years ago when I was a kid, cells phones weren’t really a thing. We were camping and doing something else we shouldn’t have been, nothing too bad, but could have gotten us in a bit of trouble. We had an accident and were forced to try and walk 20+ miles at night because there was no other way out. During the day we ran across three people. One of them was nice enough to give our location to authorities. The other two apparently were not, even though they were cool to us, they laughed at us. Because of where we were the authorities did not initially believe why we were there and our chance meeting with the other two gentlemen necessitated a lengthy conversation with fed leo. I would say it was long enough ago to not worry but I have friends up and down that coast still tell me in some places it’s as bad or worse than it was years ago. Many things wash up on those remote beaches, and people. Sorry for the novel, but that’s the story.

Good vids, thanks! Definitely gonna put in proper effort to get my form down before I go

I’ve been enjoying kayak/camping videos from one of your fellow Texans gatewood brown, look him up on YouTube… he also has a line of dry bag and backpack that I’m going to buy called remote designs. I really like his new kayak, the old town sportsman 120. Going to buy it. Get a hand bilge pump, he has one, can’t remember brand but seems necessary for a sit in yak.
