We FINALLY make Florida! After crossing Mobile Bay and getting back into the ICW we make our way to Palafox Pier Marina in Pensacola. We tie up and survey our hot mess of a sailboat, then decide to blow off the chores for some food, sand, sun, and fun. Who wants to work in a place like this?
Was wondering what your draft is on your Hunter 40 and where you plan to sail on Carib #1. Thoroughly enjoyed reading your ‘why you picked a Hunter blog’. I’ve felt the same about them but second guessed myself as I’m new. Cheers
Hey Tye – Our draft is 5′. Our first leg takes us Ft. Myers, FL. We leave the boat there for the hurricane season then will be hopefully heading down to the Exumas either this summer or just after the hurricane season since this one is supposed to be very active. If we have to wait, we’ll just sail the Keys for a few weeks so we’ll have plenty of place to hole up if there’s a problem. Glad to hear the story about our reasoning on the Hunter helps. I’ve got exactly ZERO regrets. She is absolutely a great boat and an incredible value.
