There used to be a big presence of cats in the area. Its been a while but the nicest will be on the north shore (Mandeville area). There used to be a cat club on the south shore near the end of Elysian Fields. Don't know if its still there. There was a big regatta a couple of weeks ago there and I understand it went well. The close proximity to MS is a plus. The sailing off the MS coast is really great! You are closer to OS where S2S and Island Hop is held along with a lot of other smaller races.

Good luck!
