Has anyone on this list done any sailing with a Hobie 16 or it's equal going thru "Plum Gut" off Orient Point? Next year I would like to sail from North Sea in Peconic Bay...along the West side of Shelter Island...then it's north side...out thru the Gut...and head about 12 miles across the sound to Duck Island! I am very concerned about the Gut! Always a heavy tide there with heavy chop! Be a bad place to turtle or get shaken apart! If anyone has experience here on certain wind and tide conditions,please write me!
