margeecruiser Posted February 17, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hi -- On our roll call thread, it has been discussed where we might meet up for a sailaway party in case of bad weather. It may be cold, rainy and windy when we leave from Galveston. I know most bars are not open; usually only the Sky Bar. If it is raining, will they open others? Thanks from a bunch of thirsty friends.

Margee We've used Viking Crown as a bad weather backup for sailaway party. Nice views up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

margeecruiser Posted February 17, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Thanks, I did not know the Viking Crown was open early. It gets my vote! Margee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstoncruisers2001 Posted February 17, 2014 #5 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Don't fret, you'll be able to find somewhere to drink before, during and after sailaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cage keeper Posted February 17, 2014 #6 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Viking Crown is where everyone goes for the NJ sailings in the winter months. We try to stay outside until we go under the Verrazano but don't always make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shekim Posted February 17, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I have sailed from Galveston 3 times; twice in February, and it has never been too cold to stay out on deck for sail away. Once it was a little chilly with the wind. Shoot, today its in the upper 70's, like 78 degrees outside. I'm 30 miles from Galveston. No worries.

TEXASMUNK Posted February 17, 2014 #9 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Out of Galveston, we have always "assembled" at the pool bar, port side...if pouring, or frigid, we use the Crown as our back-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
