Trip List-I will repost occassionally during the year
Excellent, Don!
This is a group list, so just post what you are bringing, and I will add it (for those pirates that have "off the path" requirements, we will create sub-category lists that will give you full credit. For example, GFS may bring his micro-tent and Spider Crab may bring his floating mobile home.
List your max wind and wave height / duration to cross. We also need to discuss the necessary weather window including wind out of the Northern quadrant. It has been decent weather this Summer so far...I had a SE wind with 10-15 knots most of my 14 days last year, plus a 2-3ft wave height crossing with heavy rain, wind, and lightning. My buddy boat and I made it just fine though.
