Update--sorry we havent jumped in and posted more. We sailed out of New London, CT Burrs Marina mooring ball from June to November 1, 2016 including Block Island trip and many trips on the sounds. Tartan 37 is a wonderful boat and is a blast to sail! It was cold when we left but we really enjoyed trip down the East river, from NY harbor to Cape May, up the Delaware, C&D Canal, Chesapeake down to ICW, inside for Hatteras, Outside from Morehead/Beaufort NC to Charleston, SC then across to Jacksonville, FL where we have been hiding out in Saint Johns River for 2017 and 2018 Hurricane seasons. We added solar, davits, head/macerator pump/hoses rebuild, bottom paint(had to sand back down to barrier coat due to older bottom paint flaking off and losing adhesion), and some bright work incuding a compound and wax. Current project is to replace the thru hulls that dont have backing plates this month and plan on heading further south by Christmas. We want to say "Hi everybody" to all of our fellow Tartan 37's . Dont think we will make the Bahamas this winter but Dry Tortugas and rest of the Keys look out!
