We appreciate the info. Sounds like the lower helm will be used for the first time

If you leave here in early November, you probably won't really need the lower helm, or at least not often.

We didn't leave until Nov 14th, and our bridge was comfortable for the first leg of our trip -- to Myrtle Beach, by mid-December. Too chilly for anchoring out without running the genset overnight, but daytime temps were nice enough.

We left the boat there for holiday family visits; when we got back in mid-January it was indeed nippy... but at least that was relatively short-lived.
