Just as a point of curiosity, how does one get that boat shipped
somewhere else?

Have you ever seen boat transfer ships? They are kind of interesting
- like little dry docks - bring the boat aboard, it's blocked, the
hold is unflooded and the ship takes off for where ever.

You see a couple of them every fall in Narragansett Bay taking sail
and power boats down to Florida. There are about ten/twelve boats per
trip and the last time I checked, they do two trips in the Fall. I
understand that it's not an expensive way to ship your boat.

I have a friend who purchased a fishing resort on the Atlantic side of
Costa Rica near a town called Puerto Viejo. He shipped three 45 foot
Viking Opens there as deck cargo on a freighter.
