Thank you,  

We will start off on the Ottawa River in Ontario, mostly evening races and 
weekending and end up on the St-Lawrence seaway when we retire in a couple of 
years!  Would be neat to do the ICW and warmer waters but we shall see, we're 
fairly new to sailing.

Cheers

Maurice

Very excited about this step up from our venerable Alberg 30... does feels like 
a bit of a betrayal though :(  But hey, roller furling, more modern rig, 
diesel, hot water, refrigeration, huge head what's not to like.   > > I suspect

for a good yard over a survey.  that’s just me.> (2) Can’t help - its different

assume you mean the Bahamas.  In terms of seaworthiness it will be fine, so 
yes.  Cargo capacity will be the biggest issue but that will be true with any 
30’ boat that can actually sail.  The tankage issue always amazes me.  My 
experience is that cruisers fall into 2 camps - those that spend 80% of their 
time in a marina and those that spend less than 10%.  Neither group cares about 
capacity; one for obvious reasons, the second because they are more concerned 
with a plan to refill the tanks.  Nobody actually drinks that stuff in the 
tanks (back to cargo).> > > All of the above is FWIW, YMMV and hopefully worth
