Hey Stormer,

My first thought was yahoo! congratulations! A fabulous door of opportunity just opened. You are so lucky!

I have no idea of weather and conditions on the East coast, but if you have excellent experience and your boat is capable, and you''re willing to rough it a bit, why not get your SSB, life raft, EPIRB, and whatever other critical necessities you need, and just GO FOR IT! Use good judgement, choose the best weather conditions, and work your way south.

When you see a fork laying in the road, pick it up!

Cheers,

Pamela
