The Hunter 34 can certainly go offshore safely.


I think Shaun might appreciate the opinion of someone who had actually
sailed outside of Long Island Sound.

Seriously, Bob, your experience outside of completely protected waters
can be measured in single digit hours. You've never been on a
"cruise" longer than several days, and you've never been more than an
hour away from SeaTow.

Daysailing from City Island does not make you an expert on offshore
cruising in Western Australia.
