There is no where is dock here at the end.  It is all commercial.  At the very, very end of the canal, I found a small boat ramp.  It had a chain across the ramp and did not look as though it had been used for awhile.  Since it was almost dark I just tied up there.  I took out the grill and grilled steak and shrimp.

Checked in on the C-Brat forum and started a thread on my Super Loop 2009.  Jim B TXSD lives in the area and posted back that the Port of Brownsville is a restricted area and that no private boat are suppose to be in there.  He said there should have been a sign at the entrance.  Well I' didn’t see any dang sign.  Maybe someone will bond me out.  I’m just hanging low until morning. 

If you look at the map Brownsville, Tx is just about due East of Naples, Florida.
