Other interesting stuff:
Texas Water Safari- CTG once again manned the final check point before the end of the Texas Water Safari. Over a period of four days, we checked in 82 boats. Despite bad bay conditions, all 82 boatswent on to finish the race at Seadrift.
Ferry Street Put-in and Take-out Improvements- San Antonio River Authority and Canoe Trail Goliad are upgrading the Ferry Street put-in and take-out to galvanized expanded metal steps. Steps will be four feet wide with a high railing on right and low railing on left, with “saddle” equipped with rolling bars for moving kayaks down left side of steps.We had hoped this project would have been done mid-April, 2018, but regulations slowed the project down.
