Here's a better way. Stay off 45 through the city, it is a traffic mess, especially hauling a boat. Take I-10 to 610S or east to 225 east to 146 south or I-10 to 146 south to Kemah. Brings you right into Kemah.

There are numerous ramps and facilities for boat launching, dockage and marina facilities.
The event will take place in Galveston Bay just off shore from Bay View, Rte 646. There are numerous areas to weatch including a public park from land and the spectators gallery will be Directly across from the Old HL&P Cooling water Canal. The beginning of the Run will be located just off Grand Ave and 646, if you are familiar with Clifton by the Sea or Noah's Ark, its there. The end of the course is at 646 and 24 ande 1/2 st.
Keels and Wheels event is also taking place that weekend so its going to be a doozy of a time.
We are having a detail meeting to day so more to follow.
