By Tom Goynes In 1968, my brother Jim and I took a left turn into Traylor Cut, came out into Mission Bay and headed straight for what we were sure had to be Seadrift (we were a couple of city boys from Houston and we just figured Seadrift was a big town). |

By Tom Goynes What kind of bay would you expect after a bone-dry river? If you answered “a rough one”, you would be correct. It was not the sort of bay on which to use a plastic cover with two cockpit holes in it. In retrospect, I’m amazed that we made it as far as we did. At the time it was pretty spooky; the high seas in the dark, the canoe slowly filling up with water with each wave, and finally, the big sink. And, just as we prepared to go down to the Davy’s Locker, lo and behold, the water was only three feet deep! What a pleasant surprise. We must have gone pretty much straight across to the east bank as soon as we entered Guadalupe Bay. Of course, that made for a really long bay crossing, with lots of shallow water. But this is one landlubber who will take shallow water over the deep stuff any day (especially with that kind of cover). |
