[quote=delp]Robert,
You will definitely need beach wheels to get from the cut in the dunes down to the surf if you launch at 32nd Ave S (Atlantic Beach). If you could find 4 guys with strong backs you could simply carry your H16 to the surf. The PVC pipes will only be of use on the packed sand at the water's edge. The beaches were renourished this past winter and there is something akin to a low berm at the high tide mark, beyond which is deep, dry, soft sand all the way to the dunes (a distance of about 50 yards so).
If you are the adventurous type there is a public boat ramp in Cherry Grove, 14.1 miles north of your hotel (see link below) at 53rd Ave N that is protected from the ocean. If you time the tide right (and if the wind is out of the west-northwest quadrant, you can launch from the boat ramp and sail out of Hog Inlet into the Atlantic and then down to your hotel. The inlet is shallow but with the H16 it will not be a problem.
