I have rented and "tried" to sail the Hobbies before. They were great fun. Didn't know it was possible to pinwheel one though Still had a blast!! :wink:

Another opinion on the subject of boats at Grayton area, how 'bout a Hobie catamaran? We had a 16' for years and had a wonderful time sailing up and down the coast. You can easily launch it at the public dock then sail or pull it through the channel to the gulf or you can use beach wheels and pull it to the beach with truck or manually. We used to leave our "cats" on the beach over night (w/out sails, of course). Not sure how that would be now, but I'd think it would be okay????

In the past there was a Rags to Riches sailboat race from Grayton to Season on the 4th of July weekend that was a lot of fun. Not sure if they still have that or not. Quit sailing when I quit the "captain". No regrets there. But that's another subject for another time.

Bottom line is that the catamaran is a fun boat, not too expensive and can either be very relaxing or scary as ----.

I think the kayaks are the thing to have now and hope to find a couple used ones for our beach house soon. We've have many different boats and motors over the years that we used in Wester Lake. No motor now, but still have small sailboats and canoes.

We'll be at our house this weekend for BIG FAMILY Christmas party. Can't wait!!

Happy Holidays!

Thanks OT. Hope you all have too much fun.

Does anybody know if the area marinas will allow ultra short storage (like for a week 10 days)? :idea:

You can count on that, us having too much fun. Stop by sometime during the day on Saturday. We'll be doing Christmas crafting 'round our kitchen table. I'd love to meet you. You can tell how much I enjoy the GB message board.

We will be on the beach for our annual family photo at sunset. You'll see the funky truck with the covered seating area on the back and lots of unique individuals. Guess we got it from the water.

As a matter of fact we may need a volunteer photographer. Know anyone?We ususally just solicit a volunteer from the "sunset crowd". and we've taken some great pictures. A beautiful setting for a photo, just at sunset.
