How about my boat? It's a Cal 20. It's designed for the SF bay and environs.
It's perfect for my use. I have free access to larger boats for the SF bay
to
near coastal destinations, e.g., Monterey, Bodega. If I want to go somewhere
else, I charter or do a delivery.

Yeah me to, if I want access to lets say a 1600 ton boat, towing a
million ton rig I will take a delivery job as well. But i perfer to
just you my boat, it perfect for crusisng anywere on earth.


What I was talking about is you "protecting" yourself from pirates with your
shields. I thought maybe you button up at night in the tropics just to be
safe.

No, just keep a 24 hour watch if needed. I did think about gun slots
in the shields but decided against it.

Either that or you pray a lot.

No dont pray much at all, who needs to pray for protection when you
can protect yourself. They say god help those who help themselfs so Id
rather spend time at a gun range than on my knees praying.

actually Ive never had to put them on at sea yet, My bow is fast to
rise on any wave. I think its going to have to be in the 30-40 foot
size wave before I become concerned. How about you boat Johnathan?

if your talking about danger then look closely and you will see 4 wing
nut bolts on each window, I have steel sheilds that I can install in 2
min. flat.

pics of
his boat....which appear to match the old one.

Looks better than the average Beneteau, wouldn't you say?
Hopefully,
Joe will
be forthcoming on the details of this interesting vessel
