Can't you find a boat in Seattle?


Not yet. As I said, right now I'm looking at options. I'm hoping to
find one here in Vanc. so I don't have to "import" it (NAFTA - what a
joke!). Originally the Plan was to get Far Cove sold and get another
boat before summer (specifically before the First Annual BC Boatnet
Rendezvous in June 2/3!). But now I'm thinking more waiting until fall
so I can scoop up one that the owner doesn't want to store over the
winter.

There IS one in Napa, CA that looks nice, though, and the price is
right (even including trucking costs).

ps:
One more Comment: I once looked at taking my 18-ft powerboat from Port
Hardy to Ocean Falls (around Cape Caution) and was warned of 30-ft
waves and 50knot winds. When we finally made the trip in Far Cove, the
worst waves we encountered were in the First Narrows (wakes from the
commercial vessels). So I take some of the Doom-and-gloom with a grain
of salt.
