I always tell Michel to be careful what he wishes for……

He’s been talking about buying a hobie cat for two years now, ever since he we went for a ride here in San Felipe at the Regatta……


Well this year, it happened.
He bought this hobie cat off of a lady from Williams Lake, BC, who lives here for most the year in a very large casa….She had bought the hobie cat to settle an argument (so the story goes) and used it only once - for their ladies ‘Yacht Club Meeting‘…she put it into her pool because the pool water to too cold to swim in. So the ladies laid around on the tarp and pontoons sippin margarittas…. Another tough day in San Felipe….I’ve been invited to join the Ladies Yacht Club. Sounds like fun.

The hobie cat is a little smaller than Michel had hoped for, 14 feet; he wanted a 16 foot, but he none the less is enjoying it. And we’ve decided to stay in San Felipe for March, so he’ll have a whole month to play. We keep it anchored right on the beach in front of our RV park.

Glad to hear you have chosen to stay another month down there and play on your Hobie Cat. Still a ton of snow here. Starting to melt with milder temps, but the whole Southern BC area got snow last night again. Sucks!!
