[quote=sailshadd]Thanks mattson!
That's the stuff I was looking for!!! not someone to " Save my Life" even though the advice that was giving, just might.
My intent was not to demean anyone else's sailing advice or opinion, rather to gain insight about a trip I have not done before. I will not go into detail about my sailing background, and exspose myself to that minefield, but suffice to say I have a 34 yrs. nautical history raging from racing Laser's to a 14 mo. liveaboard cruise with my wife and 2 sons, and still know I can learn something from everybody.
That's one problem with an internet forum, when you ask a general question, you get what you asked for, and sometimes more than you aked for.
I must say your list is quite extensive, but very comprehensive, I had thought of most of the items....but I will admit, not all. As with most sailing adventures, weather is the most important call. Is there a specific weather pattern that you look for or stay away from? Assuming you stay away from deep lows, but perhaps a weak low would give you a favorable south wind, or is a post frontal north flow is better? or just a big friendly high?
Thanks for eveyones input, I appreciate anyones construtive advice on how to make my solo trip more safe, and enjoyable.
