Posted there also Thank you for the suggestion.

Check out the blog “MV Dirona”. The Hamilton’s have circumnavigated on their 52 Nordvavn. They are very knowledgeable

I think that I be insurable. I have a 100 ton masters license. And thanks Just Working for a report on the 70 ORY. It’s actually what I am scheduled to look at (there is a 2012 and a 2013 on the used market)
