My wife and I are planning an extended cruise aboard our 1978 catalina 27. We are planning a trip out through the great lakes and down the ICW to points further south. Our date has yet to be set but it looks like late in the year 2000. I am looking for anyone that has made extensive trips in their 27 We hope to be gone for 12 to 15 months. Any words of wisdom? I am specifically interested in Ideas about making our 27 more livable for an extended period of time. Thanks .
