Now the ocean was pond flat and they were following our big boat but still Damm Impresive just for bragging rights. You have to love those Whalers [img]http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p112/BOBHIL/CarlasBoat012.jpg[/img] [img]http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p112/BOBHIL/bimini034.jpg[/img] Edited by Jeff on 06/10/07 - 8:03 PM

If you were cruising at 25 or 30 it should take about 3 to 4 hours depending on wind and current. Just curious... Edited by Joe Kriz on 06/10/07 - 5:27 PM

Has to be a fun ride when the weather is right for it On the hunt for a classic 19 or 21 Whaler
