This year I went to the the Messabout with my son and a number of friends.
We arrived Friday afternoon and set up camp in the park on the beach. A few others were early arrivers, including Jim of Kemah, TX who brought his Kayak, a Turisops designed by Michael Alford (plans from Woodenboat Magazine store).
Jim's campsite.
Our campsite.
The silvertarp shade. The building SE wind caused it to achieve an interesting shape.
I brought my very old Sabot hull with oars, and it was used.
The oarlock mount broke, and the boys had to paddle back to shore.
