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.

Copy all that, Steve.

My Dad had a house at Crystal Beach on Bolivar peninsula.
After the storm, there was nothing on the peninsula at all.

I loved taking the ferry home. Sure it took a while but it
was a chance to stop and relax on the commute.

Last time I saw Kemah (5 years ago?), it had grown so crowded
that I barely recognized it from my childhood beach memories.

We thought about moving back there, but the heat, humidity,
and humanity talked us out of it.

Besides, most of Galveston Bay is barely 4 feet deep!
