Help, my small ship has come in, I have a dream!
1) I am unemployed - I have free time.
2) I have a brother in a coma at home that I take care of, so I can't take too long a vacation at any one time. But I can set my time to just about anytime. 3) I owe, I owe and I have no work to go.  4) I just got a letter from Visa telling me my card is now locked up. 5) I just got a call after reading the letter telling me that the land the government was siezing from me for back-taxes was going to sell for a profit. 6) So now I have enough money to pay off *ALL* my debts - every single one! And still have some money left over. 7) At my cabin I am busy converting a 16 foot canoe to a partly covered sailing catamaran. So here is my dream and questions assuming I can get the canoe properly converted. Is my dream of cruising around the islands of the Bahamas for 1-2 weeks a valid dream? The canoe and add-ons will fit easyily on my truck, I was planning to drive it all down to Florida, then get a lift to the Bahamas then just cruise for a week or two. How hard will transfering the craft to the Bahamas be? Who is the best to contact? Airline? Cruise boat? Or the special boat transporters? Private boats making the crossing? What else should I be thinking off. Earl Colby Pottinger -- I make public email sent to me! Hydrogen Peroxide Rockets, OpenBeos, SerialTransfer 3.0, RAMDISK, BoatBuilding, DIY TabletPC. What happened to the time? http://webhome.idirect.com/~earlcp |

Look I know the idea of cruising the Bahamas in a sailing canoe may seem a little dumb but it is my understanding the waters are shallow for the most part and land is always in sight. I maybe a little dumb, but I am not stupid.

Rig a sail on it and you should fit in. There was a fellow here with a yellow Coronado that would have been helpful to you. Too bad he's gone AWOL. |
