Haha are you making fun of me for my idea of a 13 with twin 20's? Very funny. Good luck on your trek. Bring some extra gas just incase!

If I were to go out (anything over 10 miles) I would prefer have another boat or three along for the comfort factor.

It is impossible to have the "Perfect Storm" while traveling to the Flemish Cap in a Whaler....the Whaler will not sink.

I think Kamie is perfectly correct. As a carefull boater Kamie knows whats she is talking about. Many here would rah rah you to go out, and others would rah rah you to stay in.
Remember, your 13 was not designed for that kind of water ... or was it suggested anywhere in the BW lit. to strt living bigger than the boat was designed for.
I have a Nantucket and I would never put myself i harms way just to say i could boat in waters not designed for....
If you, make sure you have will The boat will always survive, never sure about the passengers...good luck

I've done some pretty bold things in my life (some called them dumb ) but I have to wonder where did the journey start from when headed to the Flemish Cap because otherwise it was a 350 mile cruise.

If the Flemish Gap is 350 miles out at sea, he must have been in a 13 that was used as a dingy for a larger vessel. There's no way he made it out that far in a 13' alone. It all makes sense to me now.

It's a joke guys. The flemish cap took a 72' boat to the grave (Andrea Gail).

Your right. The Whaler will not sink. But a person can.
