Maybe if you spent some time out of "protected water" you might see some Macs in "unprotected" water. I spend plenty of time out of protected water. How about you? Frankly I haven't seen any Macs in the Gulf of Mexico, on the Atlantic Coast, in the Gulf Stream, or even the Bahamas. They'd be OK in most of the Bahamas once they got there, but as they say, first you've got to get there. People go to the Bahamas on their jet-skis. Macs cross all the time. Macs are an excellent choice. If you don't want to sail and you want to make a fast trip you wait for a calm wind foreast and you motor across averaging 15 to 16 mph to save fuel and it only takes you about five or six hours to go from Miami to Bimini. A Mac 26X or M is the perfect Bahamas boat because of shallow draft. They can go where most other sailboats would be aground. -- Cheerio, Ed Gordon http://www.freewebs.com/egordon873/index.htm |
