Gemini Catamaran Shell at Hunter Marine

Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.1
I took this pic of the sister boat of 3Sum being made. Hunter Marine is now the manufacturer of the Gemini and not Performance Cruising. We saw the new version at the St. Pete Boat Show and I like what Hunter had done and added some nice features and simplified some of the electronics, but it looked like a Hunter. Don't know what that means, but it looked like a Hunter. It felt like it was a bit more solid than 3Sum. The grabrails didn't pull out like on 3Sum.

Hunter Marine Test Pool

Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.1
I was up in Alachua, FL and decided to stop by Hunter Marine. They are now making the Gemini Catamaran. This is a picture of what appears to be their test pool. Don't know if I was to be back there or not, but the security guard was busy blowing leaves away. It is pretty odd to see a 40 some foot sailboat on a landlocked pond that is about 100 yards across.

Going under Bridges

We have never taken 3Sum under a bridge unless she was on her trailer doing 65. This might come in handy.

Marinas around Tampa

West Florida Marinas around Tampa

We ran into this site that has info on marinas, anchorages and mooring fields around the ICW. Quite helpful.

Sailing to Sarasota for the holidays?




How about Marina Jacks in Sarasota? Mooring field is $18 and slip is $65.

3Sum Goes out Tomorrow!

Our plan is a role-reversal - Lisa is going to back the boat out and I'll handle the docklines. Lisa will kick out the amas and raise the mainsail. Should be interesting. We may even try a MOB drill.
