G'Day Steve,
Well done - can't give advice on that trip but sure you'll get some from others.

Re: new to posting
Hey Steve,
Jeff here. Living in Shanghai, but made in Canada.
How did that trip go on the cat? Great to hear you got a new cat. Have you posted any pics? I spent some time in Sydney harbor on the Adam's 10's. Seems like a lifetime ago now.
Regards.

Re: New to Posting
My first post, hope I'm doing it right. I am residing in St Thomas, in middle of Medical assignment. Have some experience, and great passion for some sailing down islands. I saw Edel 33' catamaran for sale here. Is that an appropriate size boat for me, wife, and small dog for 3-4 months of cruising?

@ DaventrishWelcome to CF!
Can't imagine why it wouldn't suffice, but you might want to get the ok from your wife.

My first time at this
,I bought a boat, 16 ft Bahanian sloop, built by a guy named Tom Colvin. I guess he made some other larger boats. Anybody have any info on any other small Colvin designs?
