Thanks, Eva! Really appreciate the insight. We are planning on a Mahe 36 from Cruise Abaco for next May, hopefully. We own an Irwin 38CC with a 4'6 draft so this trip is just to give us some idea of what we're looking at down there. The couple who owned her before us spent two months out of the year on her in the Bahamas for years...so we know she's capable. But...we have never sailed there so we think it's best to charter a cat first and just get the lay of the land...not to mention the fact that getting our boat there from the Bradenton/Sarasota area and having enough time to enjoy ourselves would take more time than we can provide vacation-wise at the present time. Hopefully that will change soon!
