The annual Texas 2000 regatta made its way down the ditch recently. It features mostly homemade boats and travels the 200 miles from South Padre to Seadrift. This year they passed by Snoopy’s Pier, Marker 37 and Doc’s in mid-morning. The idea is to showcase homemade boats and the hardy sailors who can make the four-day journey.
