Calling All Cats - Hobie Regatta

[Lake View Too]

Some of you may remember the "Rags to Riches Regatta" where 16' Hobie Cats raced from Grayton to Seagrove (and vice versa). The competitors usually started off in the morning with a bloody mary or two and ended up with several kegs and a bunch of grins at the finish line. Well, we're going to do it again this 3rd of July. So save up your stimulus and/or tax rebate checks and buy or borrow a Hobie Cat, and be there in rare form. We're gonna bring back the spirit of the good old days. Stay tuned for more info. ;-)

Thanks for letting us know! How long has it been since the last one??

The last I remembered was "Riches to Rags" which was Seagrove to Grayton. Glad it's going to be tried again. It was always a blast for us "Rags" folks. Have many good memories of this and have photos somewhere in a box. Maybe I'll have to see if Molly S. needs a partner; ; however she was a "riches" and I'm still a "rags."

What a great idea/event!!!

Anyone need some ballast?

 

[Lake View Too]

Most boats have a crew of two...the captain and the dead weight...which one do you qualify for? :funn:

 

[scooterbug44]

Experienced dead weight w/ my own sailing gloves.

Just no trapeze or ocean experience. ;-)

I was so close to having Skunky talked into a Hobie cat yesterday, and then he went with another kayak. I wish I'd seen this thread first!
