Now that you've seen mistral you must now experience a sirocco...close the hatches or fill with sand
Art, Where did you tie up in Norfolk?

The best view of the city from Liberty State park. a short walk from liberty landing. We stayed there during Sail for America and would recommend it to everyone. Like you said, water taxi right to the city, very convenient.
lots of livaeboards close to NYC. Directly across the Hudson from lower Manhattan with water taxi to NYC
I'm bringing CN (Stevens 47) from CT to Norfolk this weekend. leaving Fri(9/3) @ 1st light from Westbrook, CT. Another friend on his Hans Christian 48 is also going.
Looking for crew. Can pick up at stops in City Island Firday evening or Liberty ...
my mast height, sans instruments, antennas and lights is 65', draft is 6 (or so). I've spoken with some who claim to have done Norfolk to Beaufort with this exact type of boat with problems..but they may have had ulterior motives.

these photos remind me of my cruises in that area...watching the anchor hit bottom in 40' of water is amazing. There is one passage up the western coast of Corsica where you can pass through a very narrow, very shallow passage between towering roc...

CT to Norfolk
I just returned from Norfolk by car after sailing the boat from CT to Norfolk this past weekend. We left from Westbrook,CT on Friday and arrived on Monday AM. It was a bit short on crew as I had to share my 3rd crew (I prefer at least 4) with a friend from Martha's Vineyard who was alone on his Hans Christian 48. We sailed down as a pair. On Friday, mid-day, we passed by the UN on the way down the East river. We spent a very enjoyable overnight in Sandy Hook then set off mid-day Sat for Norfolk… Continue

- Art, you are right! Just came back from spending a day in Bonifacio and Lavezzi. What an experience! I can imagine this harbor entrance looking exactly as it is thousands of years ago!

carole lowry said… - Found your site and answered my own question re-live aboard. Great life, if I could only stop working. Down to 3 days/ week but cannot seem to break the last tie called funding my lifestyle.
My dream is to do the Pacific via the Panama. Possibly back home to Australia to visit family than off again.
Have a great summer

To be honest we haven't been in the pool ourselves. One of the Mom's that was there told us about and said her kids loved it. Not sure how they do it but with the way sound travels underwater it shouldn't take too much.
Its hard to believe that my big tubby boat could tip over easily. The only two variables in determining capsize values are displacement and beam. I would think that keel size, shape, and ballast would be factors also.
