  • It's cold out there! When the north winds blow in December it makes offshore sailing in the winter brutal! We're sailing south from the Cape Fear River, NC to Jacksonville Florida.

    You guys are awesome with this kind of temperature and yet you manage it all! Can't wait to go on adventure after refitting our 65' power catamaran!

    The Norwegians say there is no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing. Personally, my boat is layed up for the winter. Working on it yesterday, at 5C, was cold enough for me

    BOAT is an acronym for Broken Or About To. Even thou the bridges are 65 feet high and our air draft is 41 I always cringe go under them because it looks like we will hit.

    I like your shower curtain idea for your enclosure. I am probably going to work on doing the same idea. My problem is my boom is really low, head smacking low. So that is a whole different problem.

      yes, that's a challenge on some of these boats. One thing we've seen people do is recut their sail so that it can be lifted a bit.
