This is an invitation to all islanders that wish to join us on the Texas 200 this year. We already have two Hobie Islanders signed up and ready. Here is the description of the event as described on the Texas200.com 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. "
We have reserved a room and some boat slips in Port Mansfield for the weekend of the event. We have room for 2 more islanders (and their boats) should anyone want to join us. Either respond to this post or send me a private message on this site to let me know your interested. There are usually about 50-60 boats in the event and a handful of them will be Hobie Islands. You will want to have good command of your boat, skilled in self rescue and basic navigation skills to take this on. We can provide the GPS route and emergency information to anyone wishing to make the event. This is an adventure the never disappoints.
Here is a YouTube Video of some the boats. Our own Captain Chaos from Florida joined us last year on his AI.
