We are heading out! We have a 43' Perry Catamaran and are loading it up with enough food, beer, and wine for several months.
Our sailing friend Dutch is showing up on Dec 6 to help us get ready and go. Our plans (which in the sailing world are NEVER firm) are to head over to the northern Bahamas about the middle of December. The area we are going to is called the Abacos.
To get there we will head down the west side of FL past Naples and down to the Keys. We haven't decided whether we will cut through the Keys (there is one bridge tall enough for us to go under), or around by way of Key West.
We may leave directly from the Keys, or head up to Miame, Ft. Lauderdale, or West Palm Beach. We will wait there for good weather, then cross the Gulf Stream and start real cruising.
We have three staterooms and two heads (bathrooms), air conditioning, two refrigerators, one freezer, autopilot, watermaker, radar, and generator; basically all of the toys one can imagine on a sailboat.
