Is shoreline camping in a tent allowed at both of these locations, or must you stay aboard overnight to be legal?
@ZiggyLavengood 23 күн бұрын
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.

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.
@timwebb8153 Ай бұрын
@@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.
