It's possible. but I can't agree on those cats, I am tied up next to two of
them. man, talk about ugly. Also read the book "Total Loss" half of those
lost at sea were cats capsized. The mono hulls seldom sunk unless the hull
was damaged beyond repair, they may have been deserted due to rescue, only
to fid them adrift days later. Just can't do cats. one plus though - roomy,
but then if I wanted room, I'd stay ashore.

Now, for Bella. possibly the same. The previous owner was a not very
knowledgeable and she was never cruised. After three years refitting she is
no longer the same boat in any respects. She is scheduled for pre-deployment
overhaul end of next month, shake down and extensive sea cruising.

Anyone interested in a boat maintenance trailer?

I might be a purest.

But there is no such thing as a beautiful cat,

Unless, of course it has 4 legs.

Mike and Cherie:

Yes, Polynesia/society islands look great for a charter destination but
last evening I was researching it and realized that November is the rainy
season for that area and the Thanksgiving week was the week that I planned
to go. I guess I will have to sail my own boat there one day...if I can
ever break free from the land ties.

After speaking to two charter companies yesterday on the phone and going
through the various destinations with them I am now considering the British
Virgin Islands for two reasons; I have a wonderful girlfriend that will be
one of the three crew members on this trip. She is just gettting into
sailing and I want to pick a place that will be easy sailing so she will be
more likely to have a great time and fall in love with sailing. According
to two different charter companies if you have crew that are new to sailing
the best place to charter is the BVI, due to the line of sight sailing and
protected areas that one can sail within between the anchorages. The second
reason is I can charter a brand new Lagoon 440 in BVI and that is a very
nice cat. Its funny that I have chosen a "heavy displacement cat" being
that I am a Panda owner, but it is a beautiful cat, albeit a slow one.
