Penn-I'm really surprised that the waiting list for a beach bar for a 14' boat at Mission Bay is now 2-5 years. We sail often in Mission Bay & the ocean (H-16) & bike around Mission Bay almost every day. It appears as though there are plenty of spaces available for 14' boats, especially over by Riviera Shores. I'd call the Lifeguard Headquarters again and speak to someone different than whoever you spoke with before. The Wave vs. the Adventure Island.....I believe they both set up quickly, but the Wave seems faster than the AI; Probably more durable also. I would talk to Ron Lane at Fast Lane Sailing (619)222-0766. They're our Hobie Dealer. One of Ron & Debbie's sons sailed to Catalina & went fishing with some friends on their Adventure Islands. Both boats seem like a lot of fun. Ron & Debbie Lane and the people that work for them are all very knowledgable & helpful. In addition to fishing, you'll probably want to go Whale Watching in Jan., Feb. & early March on your new boat. Good luck, Penn! Richard
