PNW sailing is great though and you have an amazing playground there, and plenty challenging too!

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.

Guess your insurer has different terms. I have Acadia and they are great but my policy is out of water Nov1 to May 1 for the premium (which is very reasonable).
Frostbiting became less fun once I entered the Golden Age Club anyway.
Do you sail out of Portsmouth? There are a couple T-28's that I always see and often in less favorable conditions.

Hey, I thought the very definition of BFS was a sail that if our insurance agents ever found out about, would get our policies canceled!
