Bring a yacht North.

[Air O'Nautical]

Well I've got a bucket list item in progress...

I get to drive this yacht North, from Palm Beach Florida with my buddy who is the boat's Captain....and I get paid to do it!

Updates to follow, we untie lines in a hour.

You plan on unfurling those sails? That's quite a vessel. Good luck and enjoy the ride!

What kind of yacht is it? Motorsailor?

 

[Gofirstclass]

That sounds like a great trip on a very nice boat. Please keep us updated with lots of pics and narrative as you make the trip.

Mark, that's awesome. Are you heading on the outside or taking the ICW?

Model is "Park isle 65" (its bigger than 65ft).
Its a single engine full displacement trawler, with no reverse gear.
The prop is controllable to get going backwards....weird.
The sails are only for steadying the ride but, could be a form of power if really necessary.

Mike,

Captains going to watch the WX and plan outside if possible.

Maybe, to steady the ride....or it has birds to drop over each side.

Two and half hours into the trip.
Nice!
