She's a beaut. Hope you have many happy memories and sea miles on her. Now that you can cruise, so you must cruise. Where too first? Be ambitious, may as well crack that cherry good and solid
What's her range / tank size and water holding? Is she fresh or sea water flush? The trick here is to hold as much fresh water as you can without affecting performance too much as you tend to run out of water before fuel when schmoozing along. For a family of 4, I can carry enough water to comfortably go 5 days. I use a SUMO bag to go longer. If you get one note their pumps don't have a good head lift. You need to add something with more persuasion. The bags come in all sizes and are great at filling dead space in bilges etc.

I run my boat now entirely off batteries not being in a marina and I've noticed how much that gives me the edge when out cruising when everyone else has 220v appliances onboard. A small 1kva genny is as useful as a chocolate teapot and a 3 kva genny starts getting bulky. If you have an inboard genny, you're waxed. They are worth their weight in gold but cost as much and need servicing etc so imo not worth fitting after the fact.
