Starting from the bow to stern, the large v-berth includes drawers and hanging locker to starboard, lots of storage under the bed mattresses, two screened opening ports and an overhead hatch. There is a privacy door closing off the v-berth from the rest of the cabin. The v-berth also includes a separate private entrance door to the head.  Anchor chain locker access is also through the very forward part of the v-berth.  Next, the head is to port with hanging locker to starboard. The salon has settees both to port and to starboard, with storage drawers below and storage compartments behind the seat backs. There is a bulkhead mounted fold-down table with a storage rack hidden behind. The galley is to starboard, with double stainless steel sink, recently replaced fridge and freezer, microwave, and plenty of storage in sliding door shelves, dish shelves, cabinets, and an icebox/dry storage bin accessed from the countertop.

All the way aft to port is the guest cabin with nav station and lots of storage. There is great access to the engine under the companionway steps and also from the rear through the cockpit lockers. The sole is teak parquet with easily removable sections to access the bilge, fuel, and water tanks.  The interior is mostly finished with varnished teak wood.  There are a total of 12 opening port lights with screens and three overhead hatches. Head room is 6’6″.  The large cockpit is enclosed by a bimini and dodger and includes a removable teak cockpit table.  There is plenty of cockpit storage in both a large starboard locker and aft locker under the captain’s chair.  There is also a built-in cooler with drain tube under the aft port seat in the cockpit.

We just read the “Newspress” article about your planned adventure.All the very best to you both.My wife and i did the similar thing only we had retired eary.Sailed lake Ontario for 20 years then retired and sailed from Canada to the carribean for 18 months .Your boat has a similar layout as our 34 Morgan .Your 100 gal.water tank is a good idea but has pluses and mineses as anything does.We had 35gal. plus 2 five gal portables.this was fine even when we had company for a months cruise in the islands.Experience makes you live frugally.You will find water costs a premium in the islands, also the food items .Stock up state side well before heading out for extended cruises.(carry items for barter they work great and save you money.Trade for fish conch etc.with natives. hopefully you have a small portable generator ,it came in handy many times,also to charge up lazy batteries now and then .Tell me what is your draft ours was 3 foot 3 with a center board if needed.perfect for getting into a storm hole now and then. anyway all the very best to you on the adventure and look forward to your very well done web site.Stay healthy and a bit of fatherly advice .You will find that certain harbours and also certain other boaters will be most captivating.Take the time to enjoy them both to the utmost as you will look back in time and say ,I wish we had spent more time there.Document your travel in a concise manner as you are doing and have a trusty shore side friend you can use as go between for mail and items needed .Now go and enjoy this lifes adventure to its fullest .Hopefully you shall find some of the most honest sailing friends througout the world doing the same thing you have undertaken .Some of our friends have even undertaken the voyage from Ontario to Australia .(they made it to New Zealand)she had a baby.Be careful, the moon light gets heavy in the tropics especially after a Captain Morgan spicey rum drink.
One final sugestion ,as new boaters often tend to do and i also had my go at it in racing years adventures. When cruising take your time ,reef down for saftey sake, it reduces stress on you and your boat and your mate and will save a lot of torment by nighfall.
all the best
Captain Bob and Beverly.
