Hi from the Great White North

[Southern Star]

My wife and I are the proud owners of a Solaris Sunstream 40 Cat and, until we sell it, a Catwright 36 Pilothouse. OK, we are 'boat poor', but is there any better way to be overstretched financially?

Currently we are struggling to survive in over a foot of snow, but come spring will be continuing our refit of the Cat in preparation for a one way trip from the Great Lakes to Margarita Island, off the coast of Venezuela.
Prior to departing, all we have to do is continue working, sell the Cartwright, 2 houses, 2 cars and get the Cat (and ouselves) ready for the adventure. We'd also like to share some information with other sailors on boat prep, gear, heavy weather sailing in catamarans, harbours in the Caribbean, clearing customs/immigration.... really, you name it.

Cheers mates!
