I and my cat, Momma Kitty, are 56 days into living on my 17' Montgomery until ... well ... I don't know.
some photos from the last couple of days -
* crossing Boundary Pass from Stuart Island to Canada's Gulf Islands in 2-4'
seas and wind 15-20 kts (sorry that the mains luff is so ugly ... I didn't do a good job of setting the tension while putting in the reef):
* avoiding 'big boats' during the crossing:
* a morning visitor:

Re: Day 56
Nice! Don't worry about the luff! I bet it sails as good as always anyway!

Re: Day 56
Wow indeed. I'm sure I'd need a chiropractor and counseling after 56 days in a 17 foot boat!
Hope your adventure brings joy and satisfaction.

Re: Day 56
makes me wonder how long I could survive in my 23 foot sea sprite.. though I bet your M17 has more cabin space.
