take ,what an adventure.. I love sailing and I live in the maritimes,.. but I’ve never had time for
anything like that, I so envy you guy’s,,. Bet the camera guy was in for a rude awaking with a little
weather, It’s quite tipical to get some weather off the east coast sounds like a few little rollers LOL.
Sounds like you guy’y need a good force 10 heater or an airtronic d5 then you could keep warm
easily even a ways below zero. bout 70 Deg. is nice in the cold HaHa .. love your article it was a
very well written piece.. Look ing forward to see more from you two in the future..
