: 29° 32.999' N 95° 1.774' W

: From roughly April through November I paddle for anywhere from 1.5
: to ? hours every day, and this is where I launch most often.
: It's a little-known public boat ramp about ten minutes from home
: that I've been using for upwards of forty years (I've lived in
: the area all my 52 years). The Clear Creek watershed is pretty
: darn expansive, and the whole thing connects to the sea via the
: little Kemah-Seabrook Channel into Upper Galveston Bay. The
: mouth of the channel is generally a churning washing machine of
: fun, and normal conditions are 3- to 4-foot very closely spaced
: waves or chop. It's a great training ground, a great play
: ground, and for some reason I can never understand, it's all
: mine. I'm the only sea kayaker I ever see.

: Cool idea, OP, thanks for posting! I participated mostly to learn a
: new trick with Google Earth (copying viewing coordinates), and
: to see if anyone else from this area pipes up. I may be the only
: Texan here, and if not, will certainly be interested in seeing
: who else is.

Deep in our hearts, arent we all from Texas?
