bob,
good to know, I will check the charts and weather for your area. I am retired, so these projects keep me interested and involved with fellow sailors. I will keep in touch and if you happen to venture a little bit further south. I will be glad to assist you in any way possible. Be it navigation, marinas, service or emergency assistance towing (no charge for a fellow sailor in need). I joined for the fellowship, not to make money.
Fair winds and following seas.
Jamie
