Thanks!

Always is.

Yes it is. It would be tough to get a tent on the patch of shell beach we anchored at inside Moses lake but plenty of room at the palapa on rattlesnake island.

@ ok, thanks for the info. What land owner or manager oversees these areas? Is it city land? Love the videos, looking forward to the next one.

the beaches are state owned I believe, maybe federal. But in texas you can camp on most of the beaches for free, ussually a 14 day limit.

A Melonseed built by buddy.

There's an aircraft carrier in Corpus Cristi i toured that a friend was stationed on yrs ago. Cool day.

@@ZiggyLavengood Now THAT would be amazing!

Cool vid. I’ve made the trip multiple times, always a lot of fun. Did you need to contact the Pelican Island bridge or did they just open it up for you? I’ve been that way in a small powerboat, but but not my sailboat.

@@smallsailboatbigwater3959 we had to hail them on the radio.

I was definitely a wet ride...

I lived on my 34 fter for 20 trs. downsized when I moved to Texas from Michigan 7 yrs ago and haven't missed the big boat. Being able to beach and camp has opened a whole new world.

Both of these boats can sail in a foot or water . My trimaran takes a ft and a half

Ours is hopping. The Texas sun and heat makes mid summer difficult

It's a great place to spend the night!

Before moving to Texas 7 yrs ago I was a great lakes sailor. Also dealt with the big boats. It's amazing how fast a freighter can crest the horizon and be on your tail . I think buddy learned a bit of respect, hehe.

@@ZiggyLavengood Yeah, we'll typically see 5-6 of 'em on the crossing when we sail to Catalina. They're usually coming into Long Beach port from the NW while we're sailing SW, so crossing paths. Like you say, what starts as a dot on the horizon quickly becomes a giant ship right in your path. I always know that if I just aim for their stern, they'll be long gone by the time I get there.

Glad you enjoyed it!

It's a really nice park! great camping place too.

Mark has been sailing for only a cpl of yrs I think but he has picked it up real fast. I know he has a fast boat among the monohulls. You see he reefed his main so he wouldn't out run us.

@ZiggyLavengood I was just referring to the song that buddy was singing at the gasoline campfire lol I almost died when Buddy started singing. I figure he's got to be pretty good to hang with you guys.

@@ZiggyLavengood Those O'Days are quick boats! They do well in the Wednesday night races in Clear Lake.

wow, I'm humbled to be in that group! thank you.I love Roger's channel, he's the man. I'm going to check out Kate's channel, I'm not sure I've come across it before. Happy holidays brother, thanks for the shout! you made my day.

It was a good run! More to come brother!

as Buddy would say, It's time to start making sawdust! hehe. The bays are calling brother!

guys pull rings out of that beach weekly, rehe

Thanks for the shout out!

Miles of tarmac to play in.

Yup. www.wunderground.com/cat6/Americas-Achilles-Heel-Mississippi-Rivers-Old-River-Control-Structure

It's all in the wrist...

Been known to happen .....

Thanks

Buddy wants me to speed up the video of all the fishing into a time-lapse. Damn near every cat. We had a shark swim over our feet once too.

@@ZiggyLavengood That would be cool! What type(s) of sharks are found in those waters? When I was about 10 or 11 years old, I caught a 51" hammerhead while we were deep sea fishing off Ft. Lauderdale. Scared the crap outta me!

@@timwebb8153 that's a Buddy question, I'll get him on it!

Buddy sails his melonseed still. Different tools for different jobs. Mark and Tommy in the other boats I'm sure wouldn't have minded but I make it a point to not intrude in ppls space so ppl don't mind the camera. It's a tricky balance of ppl's privacy.

Of course I still have it!

No wind or crazy wind... seems like it's one or the other, hehe

@@ZiggyLavengood , Buddy “Redfish Killer” Simons struck again!!

Thank you, you made my day

@@ZiggyLavengood I appreciate you taking the time to reply. I just got myself a Windrider17, came across your channel while trying to learn more about it but came away with so much more than simple boat knowledge, you have been as inspiration.

@@safirsname welcome aboard. if you have any windrider questions feel free to yell ay me!

@ZiggyLavengood too kind, thanks and will do.

Glad to have you aboard brother

Gators everywhere....

Part 2 is done and ready for the drop next weekend

drascombe.uk/range/d22

In the raft up, facing the three boats, I believe the middle one with Ziggy is a scaled up Wellsford Sweet Pea, the one to the left is the Mariner 19, and the one to the right is a Drascombe Coaster, although the window shape is different than stock. Please correct me if I'm wrong!

@@jmc32 you are correct. That is the only round window Drascombe in North America I'm told. The modified Sweet Pea's build is covered in a play list on my channel. We spent over a yr of working every day to build it.

@@ZiggyLavengood Loved the playlist and I followed the build with interest. Thanks for all your videos. They are great!

@@jmc32 glad you liked it!

Hehe....

I think they were just trying to get a taste of the Cajun cooking!

@@ZiggyLavengood I can't blame them

He's got a whole library of jokes, I don't know how he remembers them all.

thanks brother! the rest of the run is done and posts next weekend.

we had a blast!

Glad you liked them.

I designed and built the boat to be a shallow water version of an old Pilot Cutter. Around 2,500 hours of my labor with help from Ziggy and others a little over a years work.
