My husband and I have a Rawson 30 in Honolulu, HI. We have since been
transfered to San Diego, CA. I was seven months pregnant and unable to
help my husband sail it over. My husband tried to single hand it in
February. The season proved to be as bad as everyone told us. He lost
the windvane in a 55 knot gale offshore and had to abandon the trip
three days into it. We are now in San Diego and boatless. We found
someone to build us a trailer to handle our boat. We thought we would
be able to have it shipped over through the military, but that fell
through. My husband will not be able to try the trip until October,
which is a better season to sail across. Is it better to sell it, ship
it, or pay the dock fees (without the use of the boat to us)? Does
anybody have any input about this? Please let me know.
