Agree on the get along part. We are pretty easy to live with (I think) so unless someone is a total ass things should be okay. Fingers are crossed.
4 cabins with private heads should aid in that.

Personally, I'd prefer that the boat be a mono, but I ain't writing the check.

More privacy on a cat and they make a great party platform, but yeah, not much fun to sail until you get into real performance territory and then you have to know WTF you're doing. We have chartered a few and had a lot of fun on them.

There would be no need to tie me to the sail pole.

Ya can't beat a non-stop flight. Especially if it means avoiding a layover in Miami. I didn't think I'd ever see a worse airport than O'Hare. I was wrong.

All this 4 couples on a boat talk have me wondering what they might have in mind.

a. Outbound - reduce the layover in MIA to about 10 to 15 minutes
b. Inbound - reduce the layover from an international flight to about 45 minutes
No two gates are ever within 10 to 15 minutes of each other, so even if your flight is "on time", you will virtually always miss the connection. Also, no flight is ever "on time" in MIA so it's all a joke to begin with. If you are arriving in MIA internationally, it always takes at least two hours to clear customs and immigration and recheck your bags unless you are a privileged one.

Well, the one exception may be my wife who is quite a bit younger than the geriatrics that will be on board, but I don't share.

I haven't watched the videos, but I'll say it means making the ropes that hold the sail down tighter.

@Velo Vol did you survive the bad roads? I hear it's terrible in nearby Virginia.
