The Commodore Says "This boat is built for guests."

Red Ranger has a sea-kindly motion, two heads (better than...), ample water and a large holding tank. Plus. A full bar in the saloon. And a beer cooler on deck.

For overnights, we can fit a couple or two friendly singles in the V-berth and another couple or single in the Saloon. When we get to the Caribbean, we're hoping for guests who like a little sunshine and saltwater.

Also, we activated our SPOT Messenger/GPS so that we can publish our location easily.

The Team Red Cruising findmeSPOT page shows our progress.

For day-sailing, three adults (and a dog) fit comfortably. The workload (tending lines, hoisting sails, tracking down water bottles) is moderate. Dogs require harnesses (ideally, PFD's, too) and they have to be liftable (maybe 40 pounds at most) and they have to sit quietly in the cockpit without trying to chase the buoys on lobster pots.

While Red Ranger doesn't have a grill, the marina gazebo has a nice trio of grills. A quick trip to J&W Seafood and Bob grilled us up a wide variety of seafoods. CA made us some salad. Linh and Katherine brought the beer.

Life is good. So good.
