On the way to Offett Bayou (Galveston)

First Stop: Bahia Cove in Ingleside

Departed CC Marina at aprox 1120 am on New Years Eve. Had a bit of fog but that is what they make Radar for and all went well. Anchored down and had an arival Lemonade. Did a bit of housekeeping (like stowed stuff that was just laying around and then as Steve has promised himself, he spent an hour doing something productive on the boat (spot tied loose wires). Settled in for the night, went to bed early, got woke up by a cousin calling at 1:30 in morning to wish a happy new year. By then the wind was up(had some gusts around 30) and Steve stood anchor watch. all went well except his sleep.

Continued housekeeping chores today. Checked the weather for the trip to Galveston and decided to leave here tomorrow morning for Pauls Mott in Aransas Bay and then on to Matagora Bay the next day.

Missed all the folks at the dock but got to admit it was great seeing the stars and all that while swinging on the hook.

Thanks for all the help in shoving off from the Marina.
