KLC ,, Green Bay is not on route 95. The reason it is easier to move
along the eastern corridor is the traffic/freight on RT95.

Just think Maine --- Florida. That is RT95 all the way. And that is lots
of ports, harbors, boatyards, marinas, etc.

There are more boats going down RT95 today than ever go anywhere near
Green Bay, even though Green Bay is a nice place.

Just think for one minute. A truck with a boat goes to Florida, does a
drop. That happens all the time. Then, the truck wants a return boat.
That truck does not want to return without a paying freight on board, on
truck.

My guess, there wasn't a boat waiting for the truck in Green Bay after
your boat was dropped off.


Yes, your points are well-taken. As I recall, the trucker picked up a
brand-spanking new Catalina at the marina where Essie was dropped, and her
departure date from Long Beach was coordinated to allow for that swap.
Still, I do get your argument, I just have a difficult time believing that a
Morgan 461 could be trucked so far for so little -- especially with diesel
prices what they are now. But if you say so, and you know the guy, I can't
argue. One heck of a good deal.
