Nice to know. Thank you. We are planning to take Salty Dog on our first offshore jaunt to Freeport stay overnight and then return, all we have done thus far are daysails on Galveston Bay. It can take 4-5 hours of favorable wind just to get from Seabrook marina out of the Galveston inlet...

Just curious you’re a tall guy. When you did your Hawaii passages do you sleep in the V berth or quarter berth?
