Thanks, I'm not sure I've spotted the ones on Lake Erie ...where are they posted? Is there anything specifically we should be looking for?
Thanks

Fresh water boat, I would look at what attributes you are looking for such as low engine hours, Air conditioning?,
One owner?, reason for sale?,age & condition of sails, manuals, how well maintained, who maintained?, winter cover?, bimini/dodger?, have the boat surveyed.
I have nothing in this, when I find the other one, I will send that your way also.
We found ours at Kentucky Lake-Green Turtle Bay in January and it was looked at by us in February.

I know some one with a 42 Catalina who took his sailboat from Texas to Punta Gorda
and him and his wife both said it was not a easy trip but they both are very good sailors.If you
Stay near the coast but there is a part of open water north of Tarpon Springs that domes not offer
safe protection and so a good weather report is needed.
I have not cruised that part of Fl. but been told it is not easy.

I sailed my H-36 from NY to Florida which we did almost all Ocean.
I planned for the worst and carried extra everything for the motor and I purchased new and sailed it for 2 years before making the trip and what I am saying I pretty much new my boat.
Bring extra engine belts and extra impellers and foul weather gear and engine fuel filters and I carried extra fuel in jugs.
I had a total of 4 crew and had plenty food and because we planned all ocean I also carried
emergency rescue survival raft and emergency rescue beacon and don't forget tools and engine hoses,I am sure I am forgetting a few more things.
You don't want to be stuck needing some part.

If you buy and need a hand to get your boat back home drop a note as I have a 310 and would love to sail the east coast to see what the difference is from the PNW.
Hope you enjoy your new toy as much as we have over the last 17 years. We feel its the best couples boat that was ever made and it took us 3 years to find it.
