Sorry for taking so long to report.... I still think about the voyages (there and back) every day.... It was a dream come true and I am not awake yet! First crossing: Boynton Inlet FL to Port Lucaya Bahamas (our course = 94 miles, one- way). Back again: Port Lucaya to West Palm/Lakeworth...

Thank you, Jason (“South of Heaven”). I agree with you that the BoatUS article is extremely helpful! We are relying on it, and a couple others, to create our check-list. Bob (“Thataway”)… Considering effects of wind direction (anything but northerly), in conjunction with gulf stream current...

Dear Bob, It is always a pleasure and honor to get your messages! Thank you very much for taking the time to read my previous posts, examine my boat and offer your superb advice!! You are correct, my step-dad (Dick Raudabaugh) is quite experienced. My mom (Juanita) grew up on and around boats...

I know this is short notice but, if anyone is interested, my family and I will be attempting a Bahamas crossing August, 2016. We were planning to go solo, but C-Brat company would be most welcome. My Step-Dad, Mother, Wife and I will be leaving from Palm Beach (likely Lake Worth/Boynton Inlet)...

Thanks to all of YOU (i.e., your extremely helpful comments and excellent advice) I did not take the risk of a single-handed 70 mile voyage off-shore, from Ocean City, Maryland, in my CD-25. Alternatively, plans are in motion, and commitments made, for a Bahamas crossing from West Palm to...

Thank you, 'o cino. You are very kind, but I think I need to equip for multiple off-shore adventures, and would hate to deprive you of your phone for too long. Love the quote by your Dad! I’m going to tell it to my 3 sons (ages 23-25), and for sure remember it for myself. Sincerely, Gerry...
