Just got back. Had the boat from 17-24 December on a BB charter.

Boat
Very nice new 2019 FP Astrea 42.

Goods - Beautiful Interior
Large Sail area
Nice foredeck area
Owners configuration -large master and walk-in shower
Good views all around
Fully digital with multiple touchscreens
Well equipped. NIght lighting is amazing
Good view from the helm on starboard side
Lounging on top of canopy with cushions - very nice

Not so good
Sail stack bag/lazy jacks are poorly made
Built in propane grill looks nice but does not generate a lot of heat
rudders seem small, even for a cat
No wheel lock
Combo swim deck/boat davit a little funky to operate
TV not working, although we did not need it

Day 1- Nanny Cay to Norman
Got the boat at noon but had to wait for provisioning. Scheduled Riteway and Tico for noon delivery. Tico was 1.5v hours late. I will pick up my own stuff next time. Horizon was great about doing boat brief night before and nav brief that morning. Sailed to Norman, caught a ball and had a great dinner at PIrate's Bight. Not crowded at all. Except for full moon party at Trellis, we never had any trouble getting a ball anywhere.

More to follow.
