Thanks for the recommendations. I hear what you're saying about the class. In fact, I've been thinking that I should take a cruising class at some point before I try going to Nova Scotia (I assume that navigtion is covered in one of those courses?). At the same time, I feel like these short cruises along the coast are a great opportunity to practice some of the basic skills. I'm also going to start practising some heavy weather tactics - I've been told that heaving to is generally sufficient in a large displacement boat like the Baba (as opposed to deploying a sea anchor or drogue) - although I suppose it all depends on how heavy the weather gets - any thoughts on other things I should be focused on?
