Going north in May, return in November, north in May etc.....

Hi Lynx,
Sounds like a dream come true for you. Where do you mean when you say going North?

I looked up the specs for the MacGregor, and it appears to have a daggerboard. So your twelve inch draw is with the daggerboard retracted? That should get you into some pretty tight spots, I would think.

Best of luck,
-elizabeth

Hello Elizabeth, My plans for going "North" is up the ICW (East Coast) and trailer to the west end of the Erie Canel, travel the waterways east and south and then back down to Bahamas for the next season.

Yes, the MacGregor draws 12 inches daggerboard and rudders retracted. I can motor in 18 inches if the wind is not to bad. With the planing hull and a 50 hp outboard, the Boat can cruise at 15 mph (3 to 4 miles per gallon), I can get out of trouble almost as fast as I can get into.

I have been planing this for some time and it is a dream come true.

Know of anybody that would like to come along?

Regards, James V, M/S Lynx

Congrats on the crossing. I look forward to reading more about Bimini, and progress on your journey. We are enjoying Guana Cay right now, and expect to linger in the Abacos for another little bit before heading farther south. Would be great to run into you.

Have fun all you guys down there! It snowed in Northern New England today, and frankly I'd rather be back in the Bahamas with you all!

I was recooping after a long tough day of snorkeling when I see;

James and Lynx made it to Settlement Harbor, Guana Cay.

Yep, Sure was a nice trip with an autopilot. Gas is $ 5 per gal. Lots of good food here. I should be relaxed by Dec 14th.

You should not draw more than 4 feet venturing into the Bight of Abaco. You are 30 miles for people but all alone.

Surf in Guana
