Hey there fellow cruisers. This is my first post on the Cruisers Forum and I'd appreciate opinions any and all about an upcoming
passage my wife and I are planning.
Background: We finally are making time to do some cruising. After a 25 year hiatus away from the
water we pulled the trigger and bought a
Leopard 40 catamaran. We take
delivery late June in
Fort Lauderdale and plan to sail her up the
East Coast to the
Chesapeake Bay. We plan to be in the Gulfstream 5-7 days straight during the almost 1000 mile trip.
Question: How feasible is it for a 92 year old person to make this trip with us. My father is absolutely determined to join my wife and I on this trip? He still drives a car but his mobility is very challenged and I'm very concerned about him getting injured or worse during the trip. We'll never be more than 24 hours from a decent port if we need to come to shore. However, due to many extenuating circumstances, I need to get the
boat out of
Florida and up to Virginia ASAP.
FWIW: We will have an experienced
boat delivery captain on board with us.
Thanks in advance for your opinions!
Kurt
