Just a quick note to anyone that still checks this out.  Look out for a huge blog on my trip to Galveston TX.  it will be titled Trying to Reason with Hurricane Season.  It was an awesome sail and the longest one I have done off shore.  I have gotten the short overnights down so this was a big step, but in the end I am ready for more.  :)  maybe 5 nights next time, heck that puts me to Key West in trip.  Ok, hang in there I will try to get my Log posted by the end of the week.  Till then Cheers All!
