Do we have a successful cat sailor moving over to the new "dark side"? Hahaha

Took my moth for a spin at the end of the moth worlds. Certainly had a good time on it.

You could put JC on a floating bathtub with a bedsheet tied off to a broomstick and I think he'd still have fun - as long as he was on the water :P

It was a little difficult to keep the boat balanced before takeoff, but if I had any good technique it'd be easy. A team of coaches on the SA boat helps, haha. Just wear some padding on your knees! Hell yes I want one. Insane fun!

The nonskid of the hull is like 40 grit, so you need some kind of padding on the knees. I didn't even notice I was bleeding until I got off the Moth! Damn seasnake got me on the ankle! Sea urchin...that's funny. My foot hurts again just thinking about it.

Jeff, thanks for watching man! Lucky for me, the all night party was a couple days before....I think.....all blurs together smile
