Wanna take my Bristol Over the Horizon

Hello. My name is Drew.

I’m here to gain knowledge on longer distance cruising and some of the specifics of some cruising grounds I’ve had in mind. I have owned my 1982 Bristol 35.5 for three years. I sail out of New Bedford MA. I have coastal cruised from Maine to Massachusetts and throughout Rhode Island. I’d like to sail to maybe Bermuda, definitely the Caribbean at some point.

Re: Wanna take my Bristol Over the Horizon

While cruising Mexico, in my Hallberg Rassy, at the time, I came across a couple in La Paz on their way into the South Pacific (and beyond) on a 35.5. They were pretty happy with their choice.
