Sealife

Yes we do have stabilizers. This boat is a ballasted full keel full displacement round bottom sailboat with a power boat top. So she rolls alot. Unlike a sailboat with sails up. It is a slow roll but my wife still doesnt like it. So I copied Larry M's paravane setup and built the same on mine. Cheapest option and I can use them at anchor. They work great, I would not do this trip without them.
I haven't really looked at your route, but a sailing friend of mine often references a book about sailing routes, maybe Jimmy Cornell? At the end of the day we go where we want, when we want mostly. Because we have found even if you do everything you are supposed to something always goes to sh#!. Hell even catching too many fish just slows you down! Just too many variables out here. Alot different then when we cruising the Chesapeake bay.
