Come cruise with us from Clear Lake to Palapa Island for a fun fall weekend on Galveston Bay. We'll make the roughly 17-mile run south, anchor off the north side of Palapa Island, and enjoy a weekend on the water with fellow TMCA boaters.
The route has been carefully planned, including waypoints, shallow-water cuts, channel crossings, tide information, communications, and anchorage procedures, so skippers will have a detailed cruise package to help with preparation.
Dates: Friday, October 9 – Sunday, October 11 Destination: Palapa Island – North Anchorage Planned cruising speed: About 6 knots Distance: About 17.2 NM each way Cruise time: Approximately 3 hours underway
Whether you're an experienced cruiser or looking for a good opportunity to stretch your boat's legs with a group, this should be a great weekend trip.
Bring the boat, bring the crew, and come spend the weekend at anchor with TMCA.
