If you've never been on a catamaran and are healthy enough to try it sometime you should do it if you're
interested in sailing it all. I spent a fair amount time on my cousins 16' Hobie cat sailing in the Atlantic off
Oak Island, NC in the summer of '82, I lived there for 3 months because I couldn't find a summer job
around home. I was always the one hanging off the side in the trapeze, all 135lbs of me, but what a wild
ride it was. Sometimes the entire boat would come out of the water when you were out a mile or 2 off
shore when there was 8 to 10' swells. Good memories!
