Hey thanks. They have an 18 there. How much different is the 18 compared to a 16? I spent many hours on an older hobie cat 16. I would pass on the Hobie Waves they have. I'm not sure how much fun I would have trying to fly the hull on one of those.

I'v only sailed my local lakes (which are frozen right now) and couple times in Lake Michigan. I just wasn't as interested in the smaller lakes after sailing in the big lake. I noticed the water temp in Tampa Bay was 69 degrees today. Judging by the response I got from family down there, the water is too cold. Is it cold? Is it because he spent 30 years in the Florida heat? I'm pretty hell bent on getting out on the water for a day. I'll bring my wetsuit if I must. I sure hope I'm not getting my hopes up too high for nothing.
