This Sunday we're having a fun end-of-season event. Bret Moss has organized it so the kids can sail with Ft. Lauderdale's Cat 44 Hobie Fleet off Fort Lauderdale Beach.
The boats launch off Fort Lauderdale's South Beach across from the Oasis Cafe.
Parking can be found at either the public lot due south of the launch area or
at Bahia Mar (pull all the way around north and park by Lazzarette's floating
office). We have at least five Hobie 16's, one 1 Hobie 14 and a Hobie kayak
and large inflatable raft known as the "Party Pad". We will
give a brief MANDATORY safety talk about catamarans and sailing off the beach. If some kids show up late we
will go over it with them as they come. Our main goal is for everyone to have a
fun, safe day.
Bret's father in law will be cooking his world famous hot dogs
on the beach, so please bring $5 to contribute. Sailors need to bring their personnel sailing gear -- PFD, gloves, glasses, sunscreen. The events of the day will be based on the conditions of the day, nice
enough and we will turn the kids loose on their own with the main sheet cleats
in the full up position so they can't cleat off. Not so nice and we will have
adults on the boats with them at all times, we will see what the day brings.
There is a bathroom across the street at the Oasis Cafe that
can be used and showers at the beach. Very important to have shoes as the sand
can get quite hot this time of year. Just have everyone look for the orange umbrella and the Hobies and come have fun.
Bret
