As Slipacre says, you''ll probably want to hole up in Europe to wait out hurricane season. You probably won''t be able to stay there all summer, so you''ll probably need a trustworthy stateside respresentative on board, one who is free for the summer, speaks several European languages, is a decent sailor and good cook and is willing to disappear into the European hinterlands at a moment''s notice when you want him to. (I''ll crew across the Atlantic with you, too.)
