i am considering a boat near houston in league city tx and would need to move the boat to my home port in st pete fl.
i was talking to a knowledgeable captain and he said to wait for a north wind for a few days and go out galveston bay and follow the coast to the mississippi delta. according to him the intercoastal in texas and louisiana is chock full of commercial traffic and it's narrow and very time consuming. he said there are seven locks that can take hours to navigate through.
after you reach mississippi you follow the intercoastal to carribelle and then another gulf run to st pete.
does anyone have any other suggestions? or something to ad?
