Shakedown cruise... isn't then when you take someone out on your boat, and then threaten to dump them overboard if they don't pay you to be taken back to shore? 😀
 
Beautiful. Hope you have a marvellous first cruise in your new baby. We're still hoping get our R31CB in time for an Easter weekend shakedown - maybe we'll get to meet up if your still in the area.

We’ve seen your boat at the dock. It’s in the same marina. Really nice. We’re in San Mateo for the weekend near bamfield

I just bought an R23 and am days away from my shakedown cruise. So excited. Advice?
 
One piece of advice is to keep the boat in the vicinity of the dealer for 4-8 weeks once you have possession to work out any adjustments and after purchase commissioning. Keep the boat simple until you are used to it.

I did subscribe to the Sirius wx service. It is pricey but super helpful being able to zoom out to see pressure systems, wind strength and direction, and precipitation info all on the screen. Much easier to form a picture for travel than listening to the radio 4-5 times to make sure you got all the content down AND for the right weather station for the intended travel.

Congrats on the boat. See you on the water.
