Seriously, Bob, there's no reason why you can't do that. You'll have
a nurse on board and you can get med-evac'd from anywhere you're
likely to go. You're kid is still young enough that he doesn't need
friends or civilization on a daily basis (this will change in a few
years). And for all my ragging your bendy is probably up to it, if
you don't mind roughing it a bit.

Roughing it? How so? Our boat is more comfortable than yours and
doesn't need to motor in the commonly light airs here. It even has AC
and heat. A boat without AC is horrific in August.
You need to forget about trying to sell everyone on your cat. Most
sailors prefer boats like mine..one hull, traditional heeling and the
like. It's WHY we like to sail and a Cat is just another animal...like
a Trawler to us. I'm honestly glad you love the boat and that's all
that should matter, Jeff.
But seriously, and all BS asside....Suzanne just started her new career
and any long trips are pretty much out for next season. We may get a
shot to Block Island at the most, but that's all. By her second year,
Suzanne will get 5 weeks vacation and things will be different. I'll be
thrilled to day sail the 35s5 and spend some weekends aboard with my
son when she works. And I'll be tickled when can all set off of some
long weekends.
