This page will hopefully help all of us BARR pirates when navigating in and around the waters of Galveston Bay, the Texas Coast and beyond.

If you have some "local knowledge" not already posted here, email BARR and we'll include it on this page.

Remember: "Local knowledge" is just that - it's just a bunch of sailors sharing their experiences to hopefully help others avoid trouble and have a more enjoyable cruise.  The conditions that led to this local knowledge can change overnight.  Always refer to the latest nautical charts, local notice to mariners and pertinent weather forecasts before setting out.
