Oh my Hobie!

Meet the newest member of our family...

not our exact boat, picture via

Bah! We bought a Hobie Cat 18. This sailboat is going to introduce us to a whole new world of sailing... fast, intense, and exciting! 

Here's a picture comparing our Hobie and a regular, old keelboat (what we've been sailing for the past few months).


As you can see, most sailboats are fat which means slow. A Hobie Cat is definitely not slow because they're a lot lighter and have two hulls instead of one big keel. 

We will be wearing harnesses and hanging off the edge and going really fast. I can't even imagine how intense it's going to be, but we are excited! This summer is going to be FUN.

P.S. I seriously have so much to blog about right now... it's kind of overwhelming! We just got back from an awesome cruise and Disneyland AND my parents are coming this weekend for a week. Wohoo! Stay tuned :)

  3. Oooooooh my goodness Hobie cat sailing is SO much fun!!! We sailed these at Castaway Cay when we went on our Disney cruise 2 years ago and they are such a blast! So fast & easy to maneuver...and maybe a little easy to tip, compared to keel boats haha...but only in super gusty wind. Have fun!
