I have sailed this area for the last 2 years. I know the sound very well. I have crossed the sound 4 or 5 times in foul weather. I have no intention of challenging the weather "YET". I only want to start the training offshore. Straight out and back again. maybe 5 or 6 times going a little further each time. Getting confidence in the boat and in me and the gear. I will let plenty of folks know i'm going and I will pick a good window. leaving early 4:am or so in the am on an out going tide should put me back at the dock by 3:pm gives me 2.5 hours of daylight. I will take all safety precautions before I go. I'm thinking around march if the weather is nice. I do have to haul the boat first and get 2 sea-cock backing plates replaced and install my new transducer for the sonar. I got the new Garmin Echo 50s for Christmas and need it to do bottom soundings. I have an old Garmin 215 now that I will keep as a back up. I have an st4000 auto-helm and st50 speed, depth, wind, vmg that help alot whin I'm by my self.
