Capt Jeff - thanks so much! Your post brightened an otherwise stress filled morning at work. (Go to you island place, go to your island place) You had me going with the shark thing for a moment!! Can't wait to read your trip report. Also, thanks for the phone call after our trip. That you took the time to follow up with us meant a lot to both Irm and I. Seems like we made a new friend. Give our best to Bicho and Junior next time you speak to them. Take care. mobunny

Hi Mobunny!!! I was on AC the first week of June this year. I wanted to rent a Hobie cat but changed my mind when they told me that not only would I have to pay for the rental but also $75 for instruction. Did you have to take instruction or did you already have experience? Is experience really necessary for such a small boat? I am planning on going back next June and will probably rent one regardless. However, it would be nice to know if instruction is necessary. Thanks, Kathy

We left on the 8/17. Looking at your pics makes me want to return very soon.

the spot where you took a pic of the xanadu pool was right in front of our room.

thanks for sharing.

I didn't really have any experience when Mobunny and I rented a Hobie Cat the first time we went in March '03. I told Chris that I sailed along time ago and knew the basics of sailing but had never sailed a Hobie Cat. He took me out to show how the boat worked and charged (at $75 per hour)me for the time it took to teach me the basics, which came to around $20. This took about ten to fifteen minutes. If you just want to piddle up and down the shore that's all it takes. You should familiarize yourself with basic sailing concepts (i.e. tacking wind direction etc...). Sailing in AC is pretty easy because the wind direction is always towards the shore which means you don't have to sail into the wind to get back to where you started (i.e. zig-zaging-tacking back and forth). It's pretty easy if you're a quick learner but you do have to know how the boat works in case it flips over (which is hard to do), how to turn around etc... Take lots of sunscreen and have fun it is well worth it, especially if you figure out how to dock at various watering holes. Good luck.

fast4d - I am glad you enjoyed the pics. I was totally surprized by how nice Xanadu was. What a really beautiful property. Are the rooms nice?? I think it would be a great place to stay if you rented a golfcart for getting around. mobunny
