Almost Speechless Sunday - Galveston Bay As some folks know, our friend owns a Beneteau sailboat which is moored at the Houston Yacht Club in Shore Acres TX. . We spent Saturday night on his boat. This was the second time we spent the night and slept on his boat. My oldest step-son and his soon ( hopefully) to be fiance came down this morning and we went sailing for about 2 hours or so.
