The 40z GRACE was the hit of the St. Petersburg Boatshow (Dec 3-7). Bob J drove her back to Naples on Monday, a trip of about 120 miles in just over 4 hours averaging 31.5 knots, adding 90 gallons of diesel to fill the tanks upon arrival, for a fuel efficiency of about 1.3 nmpg. Seas were fairly calm, first in rain then out into the sun near Boca Grande. The most amazing part of the weekend was to see the huge forklift (check the size of the driver) high-stack the 40z like an center console at the new Hamilton Harbor Yacht Club facility near the Gordon Pass in Naples. This is an impressive hurricane proof facility with a great staff and excellent restaurant. There are now 4 MJMs stored there, 2-34z's and 2-40z's.
