Hi folks,
Sorry but I didn't see the responces in time. Just as well as I haven't had any signal. My 16 yr old son and I got to the boat Sun night. Ferreted out as best we could what worked and what didn't, etc. Got groceries and then learned the refrigeration was out. Headed out to sea in a boat you've only known for hours is a bit intimidating. There is no BoatUS 200 miles out. As it was other then the fridge and some minor stuff it wasn't a problem.
Left Mon noon after BoatUS pulled us out of the slip that we were hard aground in.
Just pulled into Beaufort, NC 517nm Wed night 8:00. That's 55hrs in a sailboat!
We found the stream fairly quickly off Ft Pierce and rode it till Tuesday morning. My son caught and we ate tonight a beautifull Mahi and a Big Eye Tuna.
