So envious of you! I hope to join you guys as a fellow cruiser someday soon.
Question about the aft cabin- do you utilize that as your main bunk, or is it storage for now? I've heard differing reports as to the usefulness of the aft cabins on these boats- some people like, some don't. (personally I love the boats, but never owned one)
Fair winds!

Re: Underway!
We like the aft cabin but have only slept in it once at anchor. We do *not* like the little rudder knock and hand to ship the emergency tiller and lash it to stop that. I think a "permanent" solution will eventually be to remachine the holes for slightly larger pins, or maybe sleeve the holes? Anyway for now it's storage including two full size folding bikes! We will have to move everything out to the deck and cockpit for having guests but that won't work underway...
We are now in Beaufort SC. and going to hang out for a few nice weather days to do some chores and install a high output alternator and serpentine belt and pulleys on the Perkins. I'll post video of that later.

Re: Underway!
Nice blog. I subscribed via RSS. It will be fun to follow you and your learning curve. I often shake my head at what I didn't know and got away with!

Re: Underway!
Alain,
We were trying to get a little bit of cheeseburger in paradise money with some google ads and I screwed it all up. I have the blog up with some unobtrusive ads on the sidebar now. Take a look.

Re: Underway!
We are in the Abacos! Decided to give the southern bahamas a miss this year. Had a smooth crossing and some bumpy times since but we are fine and having a great time all in all.
In the small world department:
We pulled in to anchor here in Fox Town on Little Abaco and there is only one other boat in here and that boat happens to be a Freedom!
They are also new to the forum here on a Freedom 33 named Ocean Gypsy. I just had a brief discussion on VHF with them but will probably offer them a ride in to town and give them the code to our wifi.
