Outer Reef

ABOUT US 

Larry and Terry live in Austin, Texas.

Larry bought Outer Reef in Miami, Florida, in March 2002 and brought her to Clear Lake, Texas (near Houston).

In 2004, we took a short three-month trip from Clear Lake to the Corpus Christi area.

In 2005, we left Clear Lake and traveled along the Gulf Coast across Florida via Lake Okeechobee, up the East Coast to Chesapeake Bay, down to the Abacos, Bahamas, over to Key West, Florida, and returned to Rockport, Texas, in July 2006.

Our further cruising adventures are shown on the left column.
