Hi every one, I'm new to this forum and this is my first post.
I'm looking to get a Hobie! I want to come here first, to you guys, to gather some data about "where" I plan on sailing. I live in NC, near the coast. My plans are to sail a lot around New bern, Morehead, Oriental, Kitty Hawk, the sounds, the rivers, the outer banks, the inner banks, pretty much everywhere in NC with salt water and maybe some big fresh water rivers. I want to camp on Lookout, Hatteras, Portsmouth, Ocracoke, and Shackleford Bank. Possibly even sail up and down the outer banks once I feel comfortable one day. My question is to the guys who frequently sail in these areas or have previously, what can I expect? What are the average conditions? The extreme conditions? Are there any places to avoid?
I've never sailed. I'm pretty small dude 5'6, 130 lbs athletic, in good shape. Not scared of a challenge. Love learning. Not scared to solo. If you have any valuable info I would hope you sharing with me comes back to you ten fold. I'm also hoping this will help me narrow down my options of which Hobie buy as well.
