3. I just received the following email about mast up storage on Hollywood Beach. Such a deal!

Hi, I manage the beach at the Westin Diplomat Hotel in Hollywood. We are thinking about making space available for those interested in leaving their Catamarans on the beach. We are thinking about space for 12 cats. We would provide such services as storage of sails, block and tackle, etc…access to restaurant, restrooms, beach lounge chairs, tractor service to move catamarans. I was wondering if you think there might be interest among a select few sailors that might find this service of interest. Thanks for any input that you may have.

Talk about bad timing! We sold our Hobie just because of this reason. No very easy way to just get on and sail. Now we are sailing a 35 ft. mono which we keep at a dock nearby. Yesterday we were breaking the sound barrier at 7 knots! The speed factor is taking some adjustment. If we had gotten this possibility of leaving the Hobie on the beach before, we would never have sold it!

Take advantage of this!
