1. Launch at the house. This will may require family to help lift my boat 30ft to the sand. The water is less than 3ft deep in that area. I can store the boat on shore for the week. Makes for a trip to get to the Gulf.[/quote]
Once you get the boat to the sand, will you be able to leave it rigged there the rest of the week? And what is the 30 feet like? Really rough or just brush?
If you can get the boat mast up withing site of your house that is ideal. Just make sure you can pull it absolutely above the highest possible tide line and don't take chances overnight with the boat too close to the water, a rouge wave in the bay can wash it off the beach in a flash.
Second best alternative (if you really want to sail on the Gulf side) is to use the public access on the other side of the road, walk over and find some friendly folks who have a house on the beach for the week, ask them if it would be ok to leave the beautiful boat in their front yard each night. Maybe offer rides in exchange.
Then just launch from wherever and sail around to that spot.
Home made beach wheels generally don't work at all on the soft sand in that area. Can work great on hard pack, asphalt, or grass.[/quote]
