Thanks for the info guys. I'm not planning anything right now, this is more food for thought. I gotta get the young ones raised first since the Admiral will have no part in cruising. This particular boat is not my first choice for a crossing of any kind but since my crew member is in the midst of it in just such a yacht, I was wondering how it would treat him. According to his blog he crossed the Gulf Stream under power at night to get to Bimini. Seems like a waste of a good sailing opportunity to me but then again I write this from the warm comfort of my house.
