BTW, a 45' boat is an awfully large boat for two people who don't have that much sailing experience.
I would highly recommend that you go and look at 30-40' boats, like Jeff H's Farr 38, the C&C 38, Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 37, Catalina 34 and such boats. They're far simpler to handle and sail, and far less costly to own. They're capable of handling the east coast and bahamas, and if you are still looking to make a south pacific passage...get a blue water capable boat then, after you've had enough experience to judge what you want in a long-term boat.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
