Our anchorage in Offatts Bayou, right in front of Moody Gardens

On the 18th we moved a few miles south, across the Houston ship channel and part of Galveston Bay to Offatts Bayou. The channel going in is a little tricky, but we just followed the chart plotter and markers. (A couple of the markers are missing the sign - just poles.) The bayou is deep, 15-20 feet, but the holding is good. There is only 1 other cruiser anchored here right now - he came by to introduce himself and tell us Katie and Dean Calkins told him we were here. We'll be here a while, relaxing and deciding where to go next. It's an easy dinghy ride to the dock at the boat ramp and a short walk to a shopping center with a super Target for provisions. Tonight we're enjoying live music from a band at Moody Gardens and they will have fireworks later on.
