Hi Capt. C.

The Virginia Beach area is nothing like Navarre. There are very few places to put a boat in. I live a mile from Chick's Beach. There is zero parking there. (especially now that Alexander's parking lot got destroyed by a Nor'easter) Okay, maybe 20 places are so along the side of the road. No place to launch a catamaran.

There is a place to assemble and put in though about 5 miles away but I've only seen that used by Cat sailors a couple times all summer. And when you do sail, many times it's 17+ so you have to be prepared for that. It's not like sailing from Juanas!

You say you don't like city livin', well in the Virginia Beach/Norfolk/Hampton/Portsmouth/Newport News area multiply what you don't like about city livin by ...............5. Highway 98 going through Navarre would seem like a low traffic short cut when compared to traffic up here!

I have seen 1 NACRA 20, an F18, and one A cat since I got here last Spring............I hear it was one of those Oliver fellows on the A. plus several old hobie 16's.
