Yeah, I am thinking that earlier may be better. My wife gets done with school at the end of June so the earliest we could leave would be June 24th. That would get us well into Canada before the July...

Dave,
I just found out you have your new boat. I feel a sorta kinship with you as my last sailboat, before moving to the dark side, was a Catalina 400, which I rank as one of my favorite boats. ...

I run my 2004 450 HP Cummins at 1300 RPM which makes 8 knots all day long. Occasionally, I bring it up to 2200 RPM for 10 minutes because my mechanic said to do this, but I only do it about every 20...
