We moved to Destin, Florida, a couple of years later, and lived at 607 Gulfshore drive across the two lane road from the beach, and my little Snark was destroyed in a storm. A few years later, I acquired a 14-foot Hobie Cat and learned to really "hot dog" it up with that boat, and I sailed a friend's Sunfish a time or two. In the summer of 1987 I lived with dad at a house on a private beach called Tango-Mar and there was a beat-up little Sea Snark on the side of the house and the owner of the house said I could use it as much as I wanted. I worked at a pizza hut nearby and got off work at 2pm. By 2:30pm, I would be on the water and would sail up and down the beach until sunset. I did this every day that I could until about a week before Thanksgiving of that year, and it was fantastic. On one outing, I sailed with a pod of dolphins, and it was the best day I ever had sailing that little boat.
The house we were staying in for our family beach vacation was only a street over from Tango-Mar, so it was a very special experience for me to be able to sail my Super Snark at the same beach that I had sailed at so many years ago and I am happy to get to share this with y'all!!!
