Summer Sailing Trip, Mobile Bay Alabama to Port St. Joseph Florida.
We Set sail Tuesday morning destined for Port St. Joe. This is our first over night sailing trip. Forecast is for good winds and calm seas. We have a nice sail out of the bay, heading south till we can clear the Mobile ship channel. We head east staying about 3-5 miles of shore, we are sailing on a beam reach winds out of the south. It’s a fantastic sail, I head below to…
Continue trip on the gulf.

No pics to post yet, but just finished an awesome trip from Mobile bay to Port St. Josehp FL. what a trip. did an over night pasage there, and one on the way back. It was great weather, lil warm, but thats part of it. I am so stoked, want to go for another open water passage. I took the 4-7 watch so I could see the sun rise, ;) I got to see the sunset as well being the skipper I was up at all hours checking things, Gosh I love this sailing on open water, We out ran a storm first passage…

James Taylor replied to GaryG's discussion Cockpit latches problem in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"B43 #19 has had similar issues but easily resolved by;
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,
