Can't remember the last time anyone I know has had a yacht trucked
anywhere!

I did in 1999... I trucked Overproof from Great Slave Lake in Yellowknife
NWT to Halifax. The sailing route would have been a 2 year schedule taking
me down the Mackenzie River, which required high water season to negotiate
the Ramparts Rapids and the Inuvik Delta... then on to the Beaufort Sea
which would place me there in mid fall and freezing water... then a push and
haul-out for winter at Kugluktuk, a spring launch in July and sail through
ice packs along the Northwest Passage ... then down the coast of Baffin
Island, Labrador and Newfoundland to arrive Halifax in November. The cost of
prepping the vessel and supply drops for such an excursion was beyond my
fiscal abilities at the time.

It cost me 10KCdn to truck it here. Now if I was in Bob's position and had
to chance to sail a vessel up from Florida to NYC... an easy passage with a
multitude of ports I would do that instead of trucking it. Why is Bob in a
rush to get a new boat back up on the cradle???
