Hello all, It seems strange that I'm preparing for a cruise while other are hunkering down for a big blow. Best of Luck to you all in Issac's path!
I've finally got Lolita out and sailing on Sunday. Things went very well (with the exception of a temp alarm going off falsely...) The A4 runs beautifully, we didn't have a a lot of wind but I managed to get about 5 knots out of her at points but I have to say, she moved along a 2 knots in very little wind. It was a good day for the initial sail and great to be out of the marina!!! I'm also having a little trouble finding charts of this area. There is Narragansett bay to cuttyhunk to block island but I'm going to be a bit east of that. I'm looking for Buzzards bay, Elizabeth Islands, Martha's vineyard and Nantucket (I once knew a man from there...), Any one know if there is book that covers all that? So, we're planning to head out to Martha's vineyard on Saturday for a week! I just picked up a new Rocna 33# galvanized anchor from defender for $299.99. I found this to be a great price and I'm not finding any negative feedback from this anchor. It's funny as the info I am finding from a few years ago indicated the Rocna was pretty expensive and people were going with a Manson. Which is a very similar design but was supposed to be quite a bit cheaper. Turns out I'm getting the Rocna for about $50 less than the Manson. Anyway, I just wanted to share something other than working on the boat questions...
