Randy,
Thanks for the return mail. My wife and I only have about a years experience, and no real offshore time. However, the other couple we are going with are both sailors, with the husband having offshore training and about 17 years experience.
We are looking for a warm and comfortable sail where we can do some exploring and enjoy the native life, to a limit of course.
How would you suggest we get started in finding a good charter company, the best price, and best location for a 10-14 vacation away from the cold of the northeast?
The other couple sail a catamaran, and we sail a 37'' monohull. All can handle a boat, but have not had storm experience (except Sal, the other husband) Both Sal and I can navigate well with paper charts and GPS.
Any thoughts will be appreciated.
Rick
