On October 31, we will take delivery of our new boat, a 43′ Tiara Open, and move her from Cape Cod to our home port, Fernandina Beach FL. Greg and I have spent over a decade boating together, but only near-shore day trips, mostly spent trolling rip currents and chasing baitfish. Cruising is all new to us…we have never spent the night on a boat together, so we have hired a Captain to help us find our way and to teach us the ropes.
