Mike,
It is very good to know it is doable sailing to these destinations.
Like I said, the marina operator gave me the impression it was
impossible.
I will look into the Single Handed Society - looks like fun!
Any information on marinas will be helpful.
Also - how painful are the annual assessment taxes on the boat? This
is something I do not have to worry about in Michigan.
Best Regards,
Andrew Santangelo
