Well,
So far the plans have been met. The bristol is gaining in leaps and bounds. The engine, sails, rigging, new electronics, electrical system, plumbing etc is all done (ya I know never done) Heck I've even made time for britework and pretty stuff.
As for the refresher courses and general sailing skills; I make time to sail everyday and also have been crewing on two different racing yachts. The learning curve is awesome right now.
If I can keep this rolling for the next year or two my cruising plans will be on schedule.
I have been acquiring spares as I am completing all the projects and learning every inch of this boat.
What I need sailnets help with is planning a very basic itinerary. I have countless charts, have read many if not most of the suggested books, have been studying trade wind travel routes, but I would love to see someone elses plans. Can anyone point me to a cruisers blog or a good information site?
Needless to say I couldnt have gotten half as far as I have w/out your great advice. Now the question is: Can ya help me get the rest of the way......... Norfolk>bermuda>????
