I roughly calculated that with two qualified captains, running

about a week, and still have about 25 percent of it's fuel capacity

That's about right but you might get beaten up a bit if you go
offshore without stabilizers. We have made two runs north from the
Port St Lucie area to Long Island Sound in 10 days with only a few all
night runs. We could make that trip in about 5 days running
continuously.

Different horses for different courses. I'd be happy to challenge
Harry's Parker to a race to Bermuda. :-)

I can fly to Bermuda in about an hour and a half, if memory serves. I
can't think of a single reason why I'd want to get there in a slow,
floating RV like your boat that wallows its way there. Bermuda is about
650 miles off the North Carolina coast. What's that for you in the open
ocean, three to four days? In three to four days, I could have been on
the beach, gone fishing and snorkeling, eaten in any number of good
restaurants, and visited all the bars and clubs that James Bond never
really hit.

I find small boat travel tedious and boring. Sorry.

Wayne,
When Harry says he likes boating, he means he likes to go out fishing
for 30 or 45 min. and then return to rec.boats and talk about it for the
next month.

Of course what he really likes most of all is sparring with the other
residents of rec.boats, or reading about others who would like to spar
with him. Perhaps we should indulge him a little less but I have come
to enjoy poking him with a sharp stick once in awhile, just to let the
air out.

Moderation in all things however... :-)

Wow...you sure have an inflated opinion of your abilities. Perhaps you
ought to stick yourself first and let out all that hot air.
