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>
