The COVID-19 virus has turned 2020 into a tough year for many…..Quarantines, closed beaches, closed boat ramps and parks….lost of loved ones…
But the wind still blows…..sails and kites still move through the air…the waves still move (and squeeze a bit of salt water under my TI forward hatch)…
Edit Update: We are a go for the Hobie offshore / coastal AI / TI sailors Zoom event on Saturday August 29, 6-7:30 PM US EDST (New York)A 90 minute video Zoom call with a handful of attendees presenting…Old Salts, Admirals, Captains, WaterTribe….. has been set up.
