We sailed our 1984 Hunter 31 from from Geneva on the Lake, Ohio, across the Erie Canal, down the Hudson river, around New Jersy, up the Delaware Bay, down the Chesapeake, took the ICW to Lake Worth North Palm Beach, across the Gulf Stream to The Bahamas in 2010. In 2011 we headed back to the Chesapeake for the summer and then returned to the Bahamas for the Winter. The boat is now in Titusville for hurricane season and we now plan to head back to the Bahamas again this winter. We always watch the weather and play it safe.
