⛵ Texian Navy Day — Honoring Texas’ Maritime Heritage

At Viridian Sailing Center, we believe that sailing is more than a sport—it is part of the rich maritime heritage that helped shape Texas.

Today, we proudly recognize Texian Navy Day, a day set aside to remember the sailors, ships, and maritime efforts that played an important role in the struggle for Texas Independence and in protecting the young Republic of Texas.

⚓ A Brief History
The roots of the Texian Navy reach back to 1835, during the Texas Revolution. On November 25, 1835, the provisional government’s General Council authorized the creation of a naval force and the purchase of four schooners. The vessels—Liberty, Independence, Brutus, and Invincible—helped protect Texas' coastal supply routes and disrupt Mexican military logistics.

The Texas Navy's role extended beyond combat. With Texas dependent on maritime trade and supplies arriving through Gulf ports, controlling the coast and keeping supply lines open was an important part of the broader effort for independence.

After independence, a second Texas Navy was organized in 1839 and continued operations for several years, protecting the Texas coast and supporting the Republic's interests in the Gulf of Mexico.

In 2005, the Texas Legislature established Texian Navy Day as an annual observance on the third Saturday of September, providing Texans with an opportunity to remember this often-overlooked chapter of our state's history.

🌊 What It Means Today
Texian Navy Day is an opportunity to pause, remember, and appreciate Texas' connection to the water—and the people who took to those waters when the future of Texas was uncertain.

For those of us who sail today, there is something especially meaningful about remembering the Texans who relied upon boats, seamanship, navigation, courage, and the Gulf waters more than 190 years ago.

Viridian Sailing Center is proud to honor Texas maritime history and celebrate Texian Navy Day.

⚓ Remember the sailors.
⛵ Honor the heritage.
🌊 Celebrate Texas on the water.

25 YEARS LATER — WE REMEMBER

Today, the Viridian Sailing Center joins communities across our nation in remembering September 11, 2001.

We remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice, the families who endured unimaginable loss, and the countless people whose lives were forever changed that day.

We invite our members, families, and friends to take a moment today to pause, reflect, and remember.

Twenty-five years may have passed, but the memories remain.

Their courage. Our remembrance. Never forgotten.

⛵ Tuesday Night Racing Update

To all of our sailors and spectators,

We know that canceling a night of racing is not the decision anyone wants to hear — especially when everyone is looking forward to getting out on the water. Unfortunately, due to the extreme heat conditions today, the Race Committee has made the difficult decision to abandon today's races.

As this message is being posted, the “Feels Like” temperature at the Viridian Sailing Center weather station is already in excess of 105°F and continues to climb. Based on conditions and data from yesterday, the Race Committee expects the “Feels Like” temperature to reach approximately 108–109°F around the time races would have started.

We understand that these decisions are disappointing. They are not decisions we make lightly, and they are certainly not what we would like to see. However, the health and safety of our competitors, race committee volunteers, and spectators must come first.

We sincerely appreciate everyone's understanding and support. We would much rather miss one night of racing than put anyone at unnecessary risk in these extreme conditions.

We look forward to seeing everyone back on the water for another great night of racing next Tuesday, September 15! ⛵

Stay cool, stay safe, and thank you for being part of the Viridian sailing community!
