Are there any fellow Islanders looking to do the Texas 200 this year? I've been wanting to do it since learning about it last year and am seriously considering signing up. I thought it would be cool to get a group of Islands together for the event.
For those who don't know about the event, the Texas 200 is a 200ish mile, group sail up the Texas coast from Port Isabel to Magnolia Beach which is up by Port O'Connor.
Here is a little description taken from their website, "The Texas 200 is a “Raid”-type event; that is, it involves a scheduled gathering of small boats traveling more or less in company from Point A to Point B over a period of several days, camping along the way. The Texas 200 goes through the Laguna Madre and the bays of South Texas for five to six days and about 200 miles."
It looks like it's going to run 6 days this year from June 13th until June 18th. Here is the planned route -
