[Rhodes22-list] Herb: Hurricane Holes

[Jim White]

Herb:
I trailered Le Menagerie up the Valley, over to the town of Donna and hid 
her outside of town on a friends property.

However, I motored my current project boat up into the Port of Brownsville 
and tied her off at the back of the Shrimp basin. There were several other 
sailboats there. BTW I know of a few other folks who took their boats up 
the Arroyo Colorado, almost as far as the Port of Harlingen. The Arroyo has 
high banks, is fairly deep (16-18 feet in many places) and has some 
advantageous meander loops and side channels.

Those are the main options here.
Cheers,
jw
