Default GPS Coordinates for ICW at Galveston Channel

Does anyone have the coordinates for the entrance to the ICW along the Galveston Channel. I want to get them loaded into my GPS before Fun Run next week.

Your GPS should already have them in there. You should have a find option and the ICW should be marked.

If you hit the ferry crossing the ship channel, you've gone too far. If you hit a barge in the ICW, then you're there!

Also, when running the ICW east, you come off a plane and make a right just after the tall radio tower about a mile from the ship channel on the south side of the ICW to get to party location.

Thanks..... I did find on a land map. Did not know it was so close to the entrance off Galveston Bay.

Just look for the tall antenna mast and turn there, not very far in from the entrance to the ditch. You can follow us. Don't try to cut across the east bay, go down the ship channel. When you see the ferry crossing turn left and follow the channel markers into the ICW.

Gerrit,

I see you've already changed your logo by your name! I heard you were getting a 42 Beak. Is it here yet? Can't wait to see it. Just how much did you win at the PR (just kidding). The 42 Beak is a great boat. Takes rough and smooth water very well.

Thanks for the offer to folow you in.... I used to fish out in East Bay... waaay to many shallow areas and they change all the time. I hope I can keep up with y'all. Any idea how many will be going on Saturday?
