"The Watertribe Organization's mantra is to encourage the development of boats, equipment, skills and human athletic performance for safe and efficient coastal cruising using minimal impact human and wind powered watercraft such as sea kayaks, canoes and small sailboats."
As a disillusioned trailer sailer sailor, I resent its need of a fuel guzzling 4wd to launch and retrieve, docility under sail and really cramoed living quarters. The sailing espoused by The Watertribe comes to me as a breath of fresh air.
Yes my little Mirror dinghy Tilman could sail along the coast, but I'm contemplating many more exciting sailing including blasting along the coast and shooting the surf ashore as I discover a camp for the night.
Selling "Misty" would fund the purchase of a Hobie Adventure Island trimaran. Basically a sailing kayak with folding amas. Being a Hobie it's typically rugged and user friendly, with sparkling performance.
One TI set speed
Mmmm, just me, sitting facing forward, shooting along on the water, fearlessly negotiating shoals, peaking waves or dwindling breezes. Carrying minimalist camping gear off to remote, secluded shores, to sit by campfire, eating seafood in the nude! Hehe :))
