Haha, I know that about you Mary after meeting you and Rick a year ago January 07 in your Regatta in Islamorada. I too am constantly "selling" the Wave as the best boats for these islands especially - big wind, shallow water. I have taken over the Provo Sailing Club but have only really been sailing for 3 years and only on Hobie's.

I definitely would go with another Wave and necessary cell phone, radio, water, food , anchor etc etc. I also wear padded bike shorts under my board shorts for long days which helps with chaffing etc.

Anyway, just curious on distances people may have gone - I doubt you'll see me in the Tybee but if I was the only one in my class you never know!!! ;~}
