An excellent report. To better understand the challenges you faced would you mind telling us the type and length of your boat.
We have an early ‘90s Beneteau First 38. This boat is great for ripping around Lake Ontario at great speed with your hair on fire, but less good for the Atlantic.
When we first were thinking of cruising, a larger, heavier boat was part of the plan. But life doesn’t always work to a schedule and we were able to take off a couple of years sooner than expected. We decided to take the boat we already owned.
