Re: First Boat Bites
You mention bobbing around like a cork: I'm sure you had full ballast, right? It's worse without, of course.

Hi! We're looking at putting our boat in around the Matagorda Bay for a few days but we do not know where to launch that would have a place where our truck and trailer would remain safe. Any suggestions? Also, we've only done lake hopping so far. Any tips about things I should think about for preppi...
