Thanks guys!
David, your website has already been of GREAT assistance to us and will continue to be. I've gotten some great ideas from looking at your projects and refit.
We have a lot to do to get her ready to come home. Not much we can do about her condition overall except to make sure her thru-hulls, rudder, and rigging is solid and the engine runs without overheating before we take the big jump. I am a bit nervous about a crossing with minimal gear in such a cluttered patch of water, and the later in summer it gets the less I like it(Doldrums, hurricanes? yes a bit of an extremist..). I have yet to talk to anyone who's made the run across the gulf yet and I'm the greenhorn in this crew so this tends to add to my paranoia. My best bud is the one with the experiance and this is his 3rd boat, so I guess I might be a little more trusting?
So, anything else we need to call the surveyors attention to specifically as regards Bristols? (other than hull/deck joints and rigging?) We're doing the prep trip 1st week of June.....
