I think the mountain bike guys may have a bit easier time than the cat sailors, as they are looking for access to...the woods, and with the politicals, it's out of sight, out of mind, where the cats are looking for BEACH access...and you KNOW those same politicians also want to have access to the beaches, and don't want any 'stray cats' out there, running over little Johny, playing in the waves.

We may have better luck if we get together with the Surfer Dudes and the Kite Boarders on this, than with US Sailing.

I know when ever I come in to land at a public beach, lake or ocean, there always seems to be a bunch of kids around who, instead of moving out of the way, just stand there looking at you, coming at them! I always say to myself, "Just don't HIT anyone!"

Can you imagine the lawsuit if you did injure some little kid while beaching your cat?
