This year's Texas Kayak Builders Bash will be held on the Gulf of
Mexico coast at San Luis Pass County Park on Saturday, April 28, 2007.
Join us for a day of display, conversation and fun centered around
home-built kayaks, canoes and other small boats. Bring and display
your home-built boats, or simply come to view the crafts, learn and
engage in conversation about boat building. The general public is
invited.
San Luis Pass County Park is between Galveston and Freeport, at the
southwest end of the bridge to Galveston Island. The boat display will
be bayside, where we can paddle boats and enjoy on-water
demonstrations. Surf potential is a short paddle away. The event is
free, but the park has an $5 per vehicle entrance fee.
On Sunday, we'll tour the Galveston Ship Channel and harbor by kayak.
Camping and motel accommodations are plentiful within a short drive,
but make reservations early.
