From: "Robert Fitzgerald" <rfitzge1@tampabay.rr.com> Name is Robert Fitzgerald (Fitz) and Judy (wife) & I live in Tarpon Springs Florida, near Tampa Bay. We've been cat-converts for a while and have a 27' Sport Cat 2001 model that is set up for fishing primarily but cruising is becoming more attractive as we settle into life at a more moderate pace. A great 10 day charter on a Lagoon 43 out of Tortola BVI sold us on the "trawler-cat" configuration and we are now the proud owners of a Pajot Maryland 37. Sea tested several boats but the Maryland suits us the best - best ride on plane of the lot in the waters around here and at 13kts we average 1 1/2 nm/gal. Lower helm is a dream come true, the flybridge a nightmare and we are retrofitting the vessel as we speak with a new upper helm, seating area, hard top and proper helm seats & electronics. We are real excited and looking forward to meeting members of this group on the seas next year. I have a favor to ask. Has anyone come up with a satisfactory set up to have access to the internet from their vessel, while underway? --- Welcome aboard, Fitz. That Sport Cat must make one fast fishing machine! --Georgs
