Thinking of my first Caribbean trip.
My wife (and I) is spoiled by Hatteras waist deep water:
Cabarate seems to have nice flat water/bump and jump and then some intro to hopefully wave sailing;

My question is the flat water shallow or over my wifes 54 head?
She can waterstart and is just starting to jibe.

Cabarete is not waste deep.
Just came back from Margarita. It was ripping. Several 3.5 days and for 2 weeks every day was at worst 5.2! Water waste deep and 80F. Life is cheap. Bring lots of cash - they dont do credit cards much.

Sounds like excellent shredding conditions, with warnm shallow water!!
Thanks
ps I can bump jump jibe but have not done waves: any beginner wave sets in Margarita or is it all gnarly 5 crash on cral reef stuff?

Thanks again Tom
