Jon at Nor'banks has a number of Waves available to charter for the North Americans.
Starts a week from tomorrow.

Sounds like Jon has all his boats chartered. However, Mary is not going to be sailing so her boat is available.

A little update on the Hobie Wave NA's, Oct 4-5. My apologies for not getting more info out sooner. We have at least 7 local boats registered. We may have one for charter if anyone is still looking for a charter boat. Entry fee will be $25. It would be fun if it were today (Nor'Easter setting up and winds at 25-30 and gusty). It should be a fun weekend and we plan to get alot of racing in!! Plan on getting here on the 3rd as we are starting early on Saturday.
Cool, and Mary is definitely not going to sail -- doctors appointment interfering. So, her boat is also available for charter.
All but three of the PIB fleet is coming to the race.., and they are getting hot. Of course, watch out for Patrick Green. <img src=

Bump! We have 15 boats registered with a couple of charter boats still available (I think Rick has one and I have one). Make the trip, it will be some good racing!!
