First Off-Shore Solo

It was going to be a beautiful weekend so we decided it was time that just the two of us ventured on out of the bay and tip-toed beyond the jetties.


We left KBH with no problem. Motor-sailed down to Galveston and played around the rose area... then we left the Jetties -headed toward Flagship Hotel turned around at Flagship and headed back.





We decided to go through the Galveston Ship Channel since we had never been that way.  So, we lowered sails while in jetties turned into Galveton Ship Channel through Pelican Island  Bridge through Galveston Causeway RR Bridge set anchor in Offatts Bayou Just in time to see the magnificant sunset.






 We had leftover spaghetti and enjoyed the evening at anchor. We set anchor alarm on chartplotter and on handheld GPS.  Anchor alarm went off on handheld once in the night but we were still set.

We woke to a beautiful sunrise, enjoyed coffee and cereal and just hung out on the boat doing some organizing.


We raised the anchor and move in closer to Boudreaux's and reset the anchor then took a dinghy ride to Boudreauxs for lunch.  After lunch we raised the anchor again and headed back to Kemah.  We were escorted by some dolphins!

What a great time!
