Get yourself a real man's blue water cruiser - the WWP 14!

I see what you mean - not much cabin to hide in!
I'd like to do Omick's route: "One of the longest voyages was by David
Omick, a young sailor just 21 years old, who sailed his Potter from
Seattle to Ketchikan, Alaska. It took 90 days to work his way up the coast
while exploring hundreds of scenic inlets along the way. "

If you can withstand ridicule, they're a great little boat. I used to take
mine out in stuff (in winter!) no one else would and it was pretty dry. I
really regret selling that boat. It didn't sail real great, but it was
exceptional fun. I may even go buy another one.

Amen!
