Jeff,<br><br>The ride down was great - until we got hit by lightening and lost most of the electronics. But no damage to boat or crew. We averaged 8.6 the first 4 days, used up all the wind and motored the remaining 5 into BVI. The boat handled like a champ in all the conditions.<br><br>Cruising in 15 ft seas in a multi-hull was a whole lot better than a monohull. All we were missing on the ride was a lazy boy and a big screen TV.<br><br>For those not in the know. I just delivered our new boat from Annapolis - BVI. Aristo-Cat and Island Spririt 37 Cat. When we aren't using it as a crewed boat it will be available in Tradewind yachts fleet as a bareboat.<br><br>Mike<br><br>
