That's why we invented sails, Steve.

Paddling is hard work!

We had a house on the point in Seabrook, Texas with a dock to Galveston Bay
in the yard. We had two of those AMF little sailboats with the wood
centerboard. Open cockpit. Had one HELL of a lot more fun in those than I
had in any canoe. One time, I hit a six foot garfish with the centerboard.
It was like hitting a log, and he jumped out of the water, splashing me. We
could get some decent speed on those. Other people were bringing down
Hobies, et al, and it was great living there.

Google 11th avenue, Seabrook, Tx. Just the pilings left to the house, looks
like it all went commercial. Had some great times there. Kemah is just
across the channel.
