Though I like the idea of trailer ing down to Fla and sailing across, (and you're right, it would be easy with the 27), I'm looking forward to doing a little exploring on the way down from the Chesapeake, hopping in and out of the ditch. I suspect that not having a schedule will make it as much fun as cruising the Bahamas.
