Reply to: Hobie 16 Group Sails to Catalina Island

Message body

[quote=mattson]I've done a couple of crossings to Catalina, but dozens of trips to the Northern Channel Islands, which comprises the Channel Islands National Park, doing trips to Anacapa, Santa Cruz, and Santa Rosa.  We put a lot of work into these trips, treating them on a level of an aggressive expedition, with detailed planning, weight management, custom configurations on the boat, and overall risk management.

My first impulse was to respond to the combined weight on these boats, and the inclusion of children.

Slept on it, and came to the conclusion that it's not my place, not knowing any of the details that went into the planning and execution.  Safety tethers are mentioned here already, which is obviously just one component of the planning that into this.  Besides, I've been criticized and occasionally categorized as "nuts" for the crossings I make on the boat I make them on, so who am I to judge?

I wish the participants fun, safety, and the invite of letting me know if I can be of any help.[/quote]
