The yard in Clear Lake I mentioned is the one on Nasa Road 1. Clear Lake Marine Center I think it is called. They were going to charge me $1.50/ft per day, plus $7/day to store the mast. Totally insane. And at that rate, they won’t even let you do any sanding. What marina are you at in Kemah?

Careful, I may just take you up on your help :)

I did almost the same you are doing. Bought my boat in Missouri, trucked it down to Houston (Clearlake) and blocked up on a yard on Nasa Rd 1. Worked on the hard for three months (painted the whole boat and refurbished my motor) and moved to a slip on the same yard for $180/month. Did all the additional work (plumbing/electrical/floor change/etc…) and moved to a marina in Kemah where I am living on the boat ($350/month) and sailing in the kemah/Galveston bay area. I am now preparing to really start my adventures and sail from Kemah to Isla Mujeres.
I am out of the country until April, but when I return if you need a hand on projects, I certainly would like to help.
Below is a film I made of my ordeal.

Good luck and have fun!!
Tony

Thanks beachnut. As soon as the boat was blocked up, all the stress pretty much washed away. It was done. What a crazy month though!

nice reading your blog. Good luck on the repairs, keep the stories coming. A strange eye twitch huh. That happens to me sometimes when I get stressed and don’t sleep well
