Winn,

Very interesting and encouraging response. Where is Kent island? Would you take your lover, your children and your mom out 2,000km to sea in your Hardin 44'?

Good Headsup

Thanks Jeff for the wave-off. I'll steer clear of these boat types.

Would you say the Tashing built boats of 1981 vintage bring up the same concerns. Or is that the difference?

Kroz.

You are concerned about being a mule. That is what I brought up. You haven't said what you would do about it. Am I correct to assume you would search for contraband or what?

Does Anyone Search their Hired Crew?

Say you single-hand your boat most of the time, cruising from country to country, but hire watch help for long passages.
