Re: Halifax Launching
I've entered the ocean this way before and I must agree with mikejoe, depending on what the tide is doing when you enter/exit, it's like one giant rip current. Stay on your toes as you head outmikejoe wrote: I would recommend to fill ballast, and WOT as you round the Ponce Lighthouse....very hairy going out the Ponce Deleon Inlet..I heard it was the 3d worst in the country.

I've been lurking here about 2 weeks and haven't seen any of that at all. Refreshing change. Might hang around a bit....thanks again, Mike.
Welcome to the MacGregor Sailors Website. I think we have a record of two new members in one thread. You will find tons of great info here, if you haven't already. Enjoy all the info and welcome aboard.

Thanks all for the warm welcome. I havnt heard any Mac bashing yet, however on the way out of the marina there were 3 guys on the dock, the first one yelled Ill trade you a 77 Pinto for that, I replyed I dont think Pintos will float however the other two were asking me serious questions about the boat on the way out as we crusied by. I did enjoy answering them, the first guy just shut up, lol.
