And it was the most comfortable crossing I have had in any boat. Our best day was 214 miles a few 180 days. I would love to talk to you about your boat. Where are you located?

Fantastic....great sail. We purchased Cantamar V in
Kemah, Tx 5/12. After spending the summer readying the boat for
passage to the
Virgin Islands. We were struck by
lightning the second day out 100 miles south of
New Orleans. We were towed eventually to
New Orleans spending a month in a yard for total replacement of all
electronics.
A couple of stops in FL visiting
family and friends we set sail for St Thomas Arriving in December. It was a difficult
passage with big waves and headwinds making stops in
Cuba and the DR.
Cantamar is
hull number 28 of the 30 530's produced. I have been in contact with 5 of these and am trying to track down as many as I can.
We have a
mooring in St Thomas, our home port. This year we spent 2 months down island visiting
St Martin, St Barth,
Antigua, and Montserrat. The first three were attending
race into regattas.
We just arrived in FL after putting Cantamar
on the hard in Virgin Gorda, BVIfor
hurricane season.
More later.
