either selling the boat at the end of the month or headed south/windward in mid-april. If the latter, looking for some companions for the trip....

WOW! Caribbean! Way beyond my expectations. Have now been here after the ARC arrival in december and have been thoroughly enjoying it. Went south as far as Grenada and now am proceeding north, currenty in Dominica. Have added my photos on the web site if anyone wants to get a taste of the Caribbean:

Keep your ears open for some friends of ours. Namely Karen and Jerry on PERSPHONE (long time cruisers and a wealth of information if it is needed) and Eric and Jackie on COMPASS ROSE (brand R new cruisers).
Tell 'em we said, "Hi".

Well, I haven't contributed to this in quite a while. We are currently in St. Thomas USVI having sailed back up from Grenada in December and January. Spent Thanksgiving at Mayreau, beautiful, spent Christmas in Antigua, very historic and a great place to be for the holidays. Explored St. Croix on the way to St. Thomas, a beautiful island with very nice people and low fuel prices. Continue to have a great time exploring the Caribbean. More places left to visit. Will explore the Spanish Virgins probably in April.

1.) adjusting latchhead to proper position then;

James Taylor commented on CAN DRAC's group Beneteau 40 & 43"I have no idea!
Maybe you can call Beneteau with your manufacture's Identification Number and Beneteau can give you the hull number."
Rafa commented on CAN DRAC's group Beneteau 40 & 43"James,
I don't know the hull number of my B43, where can I find It?
