Since our class that we had scheduled over the 4th of July week was cancelled due to BP's ineptitude in the Gulf, we've been steadily looking for another class or trip to take its place. We had been looking for some time at
John Kretchmer's voyages but all the ones we could afford were always filled up before we could get on the list. After several emails to John regarding our oil spill fiasco I think he took pity on us and he booked another trip just so we could get scheduled. November 28th we will be heading out from Ft. Lauderdale to cross the Gulf Stream and head to the Bahamas on what he lovingly calls the "Bahamas Bash". I sent the deposit check out today and to say I'm excited is what you might want to call an understatement.
We've heard one of John's lectures at the Chicago Boat Show and read a good many of his
articles and
books. I've always thought his sailing philosophy closely matched ours and felt that with his laid back attitude he could teach us quite a bit in 5 days. If you would like to see the boat we'll be sailing on you can see the details of it
here. There's also a
video of it although it takes a while to load.
Bahamas here we come!

When I first saw the title of this, I thought for a second that you might have just jumped off the deep end and bought a new boat.
I don't think John would sell us that one. He seems kind of fond of it. But...
